Genus Eluma gen. nov. 



This generic name is proposed for an insect from the Congo, which 

 is related to the species of Ancedopoda Karsch, but without the vitreous 

 spots along the disc of the tegmina. By running it in Karsch's 

 synoptic key of the Mecopodid genera it readily falls into the section 

 7.7. under 3.3. of i.i. Since its elytra are long and ample, by a modi- 

 fication or extension of the key we would have the following: 



8.8 Elytra elongate, greatly surpassing the hind femora. 



9. Pronotal carinae blunt, rounded, smooth. . Venation of the elytra very 

 regular, the transverse veins of the disc twenty-one or twenty-two in 

 number Eluma gen. nov. 



9.9 Pronotal carinae ratlier sharp and somewhat crenulate, or even toothed. 

 Venation of the elytra less regular, tlie transverse veins of the disc 

 eleven to fourteen in number Anoedopoda Karsch. 



69. Eluma amplipennis sp. nov. 



Rather large, but somewhat graceful or slender, with long broad 

 wings. Dark grayish brown, with scarcely any mottling or spotting 

 with fuscous, except along the margins of the tegmina. The veins, 

 cross-veins, and veinlets fuscous. Head a little narrower than the 

 front end of the pronotum, smooth, provided with punctures in front 

 and on the anterior part of the cheeks; the fastigium of the vertex 

 broad, its apex widely rounded, much as in members of the next genus. 

 Disc of the pronotum flat, comparatively smooth, or free from large
