Q09 XOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXI. 1914. 



The antenna of the c? is abont as thick as in .1. cilllus; it bears erect hairs, but 

 these hairs are much sparser than in .4. tenuicorms, with the exception of the club. 



The prothorax is shorter than in A. temaconiis, the subapical callosity of the 

 elytrnm is less elevate, the abdomen of the S has neither a velvety spot on tlie first 

 segment, as in ^. cilliii.^, nor spots of prolonged pubescence on segments 1-4 as 

 in A. te>iniconii>i ; the last segment of the t? is faintly depressed in the centre. 



37. Anthribus subpenicillatus Thorns. (1858). 



Two pairs from Kondue. This species is easily recognised by the pronotnm 



bearing a transverse row of three tufts, and the elytra a row of five in the third 

 interspace. 



38. AneurMnus pantherinus Imh. (1842). 



A small series of both sexes from Kondue. 



39. Aneurhinus leucomelas Qaed. (1880). 

 1 % from Kondufl. 



40. Aneurhinus convexicollis Kolbe (1895). 



A pair from Kondue. The species was originally described from Togoland. 



The present specimens are the first I have seen. They agree with the description, 

 bnt may possibly represent a Congolese race. The pubescence of the upperside is 

 raw umber colour variegated with white dots and short dashes. The antennae are 

 black with slight traces of grey pubescence, and the tibiae and tarsi are entirely 

 grey. 



41. Aneurhinus corticeus spec, no v. 

 (?¥. Niger, supra umbriiio pubescens fusco variegatus, albo signatus ; pronoto 

 vitta lata media antice atteuuata ad occiput contiuuata alba, scutello, macula 

 triangnlari suturali antice angastata, postice truncata, atque macula communi ante 

 apicem elytrorum sita antice emarginata albis. Subtns pallide umbrinus, pedibns 

 griseo-albis, tibiis dualius maculis nigris notatis, articulis tarsorum 2"-4° fere totis 

 nigris. Pronotum in medio depressum. 

 Long. (cap. excl.) : 10-11 mm. 

 One pair from Kondn(i. 



The proximal five or six segments of the antenna are white at the apex, 

 6 to 8 or 7 and 8 are all white, and the three terminal segments brown- 

 black ; in both sexes the fourth segment is shorter than the first foretarsal 

 segment, and the tenth is less than twice as broad as long. The rostrum 

 resembles that of A. leucomelas Qued. (1886), but is less distinctly depressed 

 transversely and bears a slight median carina at the apex. The pronotum is as 

 long as it is broad ; it is more convex than in A. panther/ mis Imh. (1834), and has 

 a deep and broad dorsal depression. This groove does not reach the apex of the 

 pronotum, and is longitudinally divided by an elevation which is highest in the 

 centre of the thorax. The dorsal carina is almost straight, not being bent back- 

 wards laterally as in A. pantherinus, and the lateral angle is a little over 90°. The 

 apical margin of the prothorax bears a lateral tooth. The triangular basal sntnral 

 patch of the elytra extends posteriorly to the fifth interspaces. The fold situated 

 in front of each forecoxa forms a rugged tooth or ridge.
