Hab. Southern Rhodesia (Salisbury). 



This species was described from specimens from Sierra Leone 

 and Old Calabar. The only example I have seen corresponds 

 exactly to Westwood's figure.

Thesaur. Entom., p. 40, pi. xii., fig. 2. 



Male : " Black, with a slight castaneous tinge on the elytra, 

 antennae and body ; beneath the head is rounded in front, and has a 

 raised ridge between the eyes ; the prothorax is nearly circular, the 

 two posterior lateral angles being scarcely produced ; the lateral 

 margins are slightly deflexed, it has a fine central impressed line 

 beyond the middle, and two impressions opposite the sides of the 

 scutellum, which are rather deep, wide, and obliquely striolated. 

 The scutellum is punctured at the base, and finely striolated behind. 

 Each of the elytra has three elevated costae, which are nearly 

 impunctate, as is also the portion of each adjoining the suture, the 

 apex of which is slightly acuminated. The intervening spaces of the 

 elytra have a coriaceous appearance from being covered with an 

 infinite number of minute aciculated lines close together. The 

 pygidium is vertical and not convex and covered with fine aciculated 

 transverse lines, the two posterior spiracles not being greatly 

 enlarged. The fore tibiae are dilated at the outer extremity, where 

 they are notched so as to form two obtuse teeth ; the four posterior 

 tibiae are furnished at the extremity on the under side with a long, 

 obtuse, slightly curved spine, which is directed backwards, the two 

 ordinary apical spurs being of the usual small size. The tarsi are 

 flat and rather broad, with short, straight claws."

CCENOCHILUS VAGUS, 11. Sp. 



Female : Black, sub-opaque, antennae, legs, and under side 

 piceous brown ; clypeus narrowly, but somewhat deeply incised in 

 the centre, roughly plicate transversely, the head is also plicate, and 

 the occipital transverse keel strong ; prothorax ampliate, rounded 

 laterally, with the basal angles broadly rounded, the base itself being 

 narrowed, on the median part of the disk is a very distinct longi- 

 tudinal impressed line reaching from base to apex, but less deep in 

 the anterior than in the posterior part, and a shallow marginal depres- 

 sion on each side of the base, the surface is covered with deep.
