NEW SPECIES OF PHYTOPHAGA 531 



punctate-striate, the interstices impunctate, costate at the sides, 

 the one near the suture with two short rows of punctures ; 

 posterior femora bluish, the rest of the legs fulvous. 



Hab. Lago Bass Narok. Three specimens. 



A species distinguished by the different colour of the head 

 and thorax to that of the elytra in the typical form and the 

 close and strong punctuation of the thorax ; I cannot separate 

 in any way the larger sized variety obtained at the same place 

 and time from the typical coloured specimens, although the en- 

 tire upper surface is cupreous, the punctuation and all other 

 details agree entirely with the type. 



Pseudeugonotes, gen. nov. (Halticinae). 



Body ovate, antennae filiform, the second joint short, the third 

 and following joints nearly equal; thorax transverse, narrowed 

 in front, the sides straight , the surface without sulcus ; elytra 

 wider than the thorax, smooth, their epipleurae continued below 

 the middle , posterior femora strongly incrassate , their tibiae 

 widened at the apex, sulcate and with a distinct spine, the an- 

 terior tibiae unarmed, the metatarsus of the posterior legs longer 

 than the following joints together, claws appendiculate, prester- 

 num very narrow and elongate, mesosternum subquadrate, the 

 anterior coxal cavities closed. 



The genus here proposed is nearly allied to Engonotes , Jac. 

 from Madagascar but differs in the non pubescent and not punc- 

 tate-striate elytra ; the thorax is narrow and has no impressions, 

 the prosternum likewise is very narrow and the anterior cavities 

 are closed ; the genus would perhaps best enter the Arsipodinae 

 of Chapuis's arrangement. In regard to the genus Eugonoles the 

 posterior tibiae were described by me as being non-sulcate, this 

 is I find however not correct, another examination has proved 

 that the tibiae are distinctly but shallowy sulcate. 



14. Pseudeugonotes Vannutellii, sp. n. —Fulvous, the terminal 

 joints of the antennae and the posterior femora piceous , above 

 dark fulvous, very shining, the head and thorax impunctate,
