228 XOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXI. 1914. 



21. Phloeotragus atlas Jord. (1911). 



Several pairs from Koudue. 



The hitherto unknown ? agrees with the c? in eolonring. The tentli segment 

 of the antenna is abont twice as long as broad, distinguishing this species at a 

 glance from poliopras. 



22. Phloeotragus prasinus Duviv. (1892). 

 Several ¥ ? from Kondut'. 



23. Decataphanes occultus Jord. (1895). 

 2 3 6 and 3 ? ? from Kondae. 



24. Decataphanes posticatus Jord. (1903). 



A small series of both sexes from Kondn^. This species is not a true Decata- 

 phanes. The eyes are much more oblique, the antenna of the cJ is not prolonged, 

 segments 9 and 10 are distinctly separated iu both sexes, the base of 10 being 

 thinner than the apex of 9, the base of both the fore- and midfemora is carinate, 

 the intercoxal process of the mesosternum pointed, and in the S the metasternum 

 centrally covered with a short velvety pile, the hindtibia of the S being pilose on 

 the inner side. 



25. Gnoticarina cristulata Jord. (1894). 



2 (? c? and 4 ? ? from Kondue. The centre of the pronotum and the elytra 



are variegated with greyish white. 



26. Deuterocrates armatus Jord. (1912). 



Several specimens of both sexes from Kondu^. 



The species was described from some 6 S , the ? ? contained in the present 

 collection being the first I have seen. The sexes are alike in the shape and position 

 of the thoracic carinae, as expected, but the tooth at the apex of the midtibia is 

 only found in the c?. 



27. Deuterocrates nigropictus Qued. (1886). 

 A small series from Kondue. 



28. Deuterocrates cavicollis Har. (1879). 



A long series of both sexes from Kondue which exhibits some variability iu the 

 proportions of the prothorax. 



Atophoderes gen. nov. 



Similis geueri Tophoderes dicto ; rostro comjilanato, subtns in medio carina 

 bene expressa instrncto, oculis minntius granulosis, coxis anticis contiguis, processu 

 mesosternali simplice levissime convexo, hand angulato, apice truncato-rotundato 

 distinguendus. Genotypus : A. dorsalis Qued. (1880). 



The species described as Tophoderes anatinus Kolbe (1895) and T. ucutanguliis 

 Kolbe (1895), both from West Africa, also belong here, acictangiilus being based ou 

 an immature and worn ? of dorsalis.
