Rev. F. W. Hope on new Insects from Western Africa, 93 



lateribus, marginibusque elevatis insignito. Elytra sulcato-punctata 



sulcis fortiter impressis. Corpus infra flavum femoribus tibiisque 



luteis palpis tarsisque obscurioribus. 



This species inhabits Cape Palmas as well as Sierra Leone : as it 

 verges from the type of Orthogonius chiefly in the antennae, I have 

 not regarded it, as some entomologists would, as a subgenus ; the 

 leading characters pertain to Orthogonius. 



Sp. 23. Catascopus Savagei. Long. lin. 6J; lat. lin. 2£. Viridis, 

 capite cyaneo, thorace laete virescenti, elytris striato-punctatis, 

 colore saturation. Corpus infra violaceum femoribus in medio 

 rubris, tibiis nigris tarsisque fusco-piceis. 

 The above species was taken in the vicinity of Cape Palmas. 



Sp. 24. Catascopus jucundus, Hope. Long. lin.4J ; lat. lin. 1 j. Viridis, 

 capite aureo-virescenti, thorace concolori. Elytra cyanea, lateribus 

 lsete viridibus et punctatis. Corpus infra piceum antennis pedi- 

 busque obscurioribus. 



This insect I received from Mr. Strachan, who took it at Sierra 

 Leona ; and as it is allied to the foregoing species, it is here intro- 

 duced. 



Sp. 25. Ozcena lutea, Hope. Long. lin. 4 ; lat. lin. 1^ . Pallide flava, 

 capite nigricanti antennisque brunneis. Thorax testaceus elytris 

 concoloribus. Corpus infra flaveolum pedibus luteis geniculisque 

 fuscis. 

 Hab. Circa Palmas. 



Sp. 26. Scarites Savagei. Long. lin. 16; lat. lin. 5. Niger, capite 

 antice foveis binis fortiter impressis. Thorace fere lunseformi linea 

 longitudinali in medio impresso. Elytra lineato-punctata punctis 

 leviter impressis. Corpus infra concolor. In honorem Savagei de- 

 nominatus. 

 Hab. Circa Palmas. 



Sp. 27. PanagcBus Savagei, Hope. Long. lin. Ill; lat. lin. 5. Niger, 

 antennis pilosis elytris oblongo-ovatis, convexis sulcato -punctatis 

 maculis duabus magnis flavis, altera antica transversa, irregulari, 

 altera postica, fere rotundata. Thorax hexagonus concavo-excava- 

 tus et varioloso-punctatus. Corpore infra nigro, pedibus concolo- 

 ribus. 



Hab. Circa Palmas. 



By carefully examining the yellow spots on the elytra, the species 

 of Panagaus may readily be determined. In the present insect the 

 spot covers five interstitial spaces, and all are united. 



Sp. 28. Panagaus Raddoni, Hope. Long. lin. 11; lat. lin. 4|. Niger, 

 antennis atro-pilosis, thorace fere hexagono concavo excavato et 

 varioloso-punctato, elytris sulcato-punctatis, quatuor maculis flavis 

 insignitis pedibusque nigris. In honorem Raddoni denominatus. 

 Hab. Circa Palmas. 

 The two anterior yellow spots in this species cover five interstitial 



spaces and half of a sixth, and the two posterior only four similar 



spaces.
