5. Mecocerus lujai spec. nov. 



? . Stractura M. laesifasciati ; capite vitta mediana angu-sta, pronoto duabns 

 vittis antice fere contiguis, a medio ad basin fere parallelis, elytris limbo basali cam 

 vitta obliqna laterali posthnmerali contimio, lioea brevi dorsali antemediana, fascia 

 angusta transversa postmediana in lateribus parum obliqna griseis vel griseo-luteis 

 signatis. 



Long. (cap. excl.) : 11-12 mm. 



2 ? ? from Kondue ; type in the Tring Mnseum. 



In the absence of a c? it is hardly possible to say whether this Mecocerus is 

 a distinct species or a form of M. laesi/asciatus Kolbe (1895). The strnctare is 

 apparently the same as in that species, and the colouring also is similar. But the 

 stripe of the occiput is narrower. The pronotum bears two dorsal stripes, which 

 converge anteriorly and are widest apart in the centre. The basal margin of the 

 elytra is occupied by a narrow band, which is continned behind the shoulder-angle 

 obliquely to the lateral margin and on to the metasternum ; the third interspace 

 bears a short streak before the middle, and behind the middle there is a narrow 

 transverse band running to the lateral margin in a slightly forward direction. 



6. Physopterus sulcifrons Fahrs. (1839). 



For the synonymy of the genus Physopterus cf. Noc. Zool. xix. p. 261 (1913). 



1 ? from Kondno. In yoi\ Zool. xix. p. 63 (1913) I said that the midtibia 



of the (? is armed with a tooth at the apex. This statement does not refer to 

 P. sulcifrom, but to Sijntophoderes guineensis Kolbe (1895). 



7. Physopterus dorsovittis Kolbe (1895). 

 1 S from Kondue. 



8. Acorynus olivaceus Jord. (1894). 



1 cj from Kondue. The specimen differs in the elytra bearing a large post- 

 median area which is uniformly blackish and posteriorly bounded by a nearly 

 straight transverse grey band. 



9. Acorynus pachys vitticoUis Jord. (1911). 



1 S and 1 ? from Kondue, the specimens differing from the ? type of vitticoUis 

 in the median stripe of the pronotum being somewhat narrower. 



10. Acorynus calcaratus Jord. (1894). 

 1 S from Kondue. 



11. Litocerus olivaceus Jord. (1894). 

 1 ? from Kondue, with diffuse markings. 



12. Litocerus helictus Jord. (1911). 



1 ? from Kondue, which differs from the type (a cJ from Assinie) in the median 

 angle of the dorsal pronotal carina being rounded.
