NEW ANTIIBIBIBAE. 



By K. JORDAN, Vn.Tt. 



1. Phloeotragus atlas spec nov. 



S. Resembling P. j/rasiii^s Dnv. (1S92), from which it is easily distingnished 

 by the complete absence of snbapical tubercles on the elytra. 



Uppcrside of head and elytra greyish green ; pronOtnm, basal edge of elytra, 

 pygidium and underside (with the exception of the proximal portion of the head) 

 ochraceons buff ; antenna greenish grey ; legs and abdomen buff, faintly greenish. 



Triangular apical impression of rostrum deeper and longer than in P. prasiiuis. 

 Frons strongly convex, forming an obtuse angle with the rostrum in a side view. 

 Antenna strong, even thicker than in P. poliopras Jord. (1010), densely covered 

 with a fine pubescence, underside densely grauulose, apical segments black. 



Prothorax broad, as strongly rounded as in P. prashms, broader at the base 

 than at the apex, without a prominent lateral apical fold ; notum densely irrorated 

 with black scales, at the apex and base the usual pairs of black spots ; carina 

 not interruj)ted in the centre, forming almost a semicircle with the lateral carina, 

 which reaches to the middle of the side, dorsally convex before joining the lateral 

 carina, a distinct short longitudinal lateral carina at base. 



Elytra short, cylindrical, irrorated with black scales, which arc more numerous 

 behind the middle and before the apex, shoulders black, no lateral and apical 

 black spots as in P. prasinus ; base more deeply incurved than in that species; 

 punctures smaller, hardly visible on the declivous apex, third interspace not elevate, 

 there being no trace of subapical tubercles. 



Prosternura declivous, with deep groove before the coxa, but no distinct 

 transverse impression in front of the fold which limits the groove, at the side a 

 black stripe. 



A spot on middle of hindfemur, a subbasal and an apical spot on all the 

 tibiae as well as the apical half of the second tarsal segment and the whole third 

 brownish black. 



Length (exclusive of head) 'i\ mm. 



One cJ from the " Congo," no special locality being given. 



2. Hypselotropis grandis spec. nov. 



(?. In colour closely agreeing with Pti/choderes mixtus Jekel (1855), with 

 the exception of the head, which is more grey. 



Rostrum strongly dilated at the apex, dorsally with three carinae, the 

 median one feebly developed and extending on to the frons, the lateral ones 

 higher, but not marked on the frons, at the side of the lateral carina a longi- 

 tudinal groove, no other grooves between eye and antenna, the sides of the 

 rostrum being coarsely punctured ; on underside the rostrum covered with a rather 

 long tomentum, a strongly developed median carina accompanied by a groove on 

 each side, laterally to which there is another groove as continuation of the 

 antennal groove. Antenna more than twice the length of the body, the proximal
