tlie fore part j)ro(luced over the head and witli a jiroiniiieiit 

 marginal tubercle, the entire surface with an even hut not very 

 close punctuation which hecnnies coarser at the sides, a narrow 

 hut deep niciiian sulcus on tiic hasal half, the side margins rellexed 

 and fringed witli reddisli hair, tlic Itasal marginal foveae transvei-se 

 and very small. Scutellum coiiHui-ntly punctured and with a lightly 

 impressed median line. Elytra with a narrowly imjiressed suturai 

 stria and a similar one a little beyond it, followed by a very Itroad 

 discal sulcus which is confluent at its middle witli a shorter outer 

 on(^ tile intei-stices of the striae slightly convex and with coai-se 

 lioi-seshoe-shaped punctures, the sulci witli a dense conHuent and 

 strigiform punctuation . the sides sparsely ])unctured. Pygidium 

 convex, densely aciculate, dull and sparsely hirsute, the apical 

 under part shining, spai-sely punctured and with a transverse 

 impression on tiic margin. Metasternuiu closely strigose and 

 thickly clotiu'd witli reddish jnibescence. Alxhimeii strigose at the 

 sides, almost smooth in tlii' middle. Anterior tibiae with a large 

 sub-apical tooth and ratliei' acutely produced at the apex; inner 

 aj)ical spurs of the posterior tibiae long, dilatated and recurve<l.

(') Cociiochiliis cariiiatiis, n. sp. in coloni' .Tiid form similar to tiiberciilatiis. Iiut 

 larger and more convex: head similar in shape and sculpture; protliorax of the same 

 form but rather more strongly angulatod at the sides, without any liil)ercle on the 

 apical margin, only a faint indication of a median sulcus, the punctuation much 

 coarser and tlie liasal foveae larger and rounder; the scutellum more llnely punctured; 

 the elytra with the striae and sulci less deeply impressed and the interstices scarcely 

 convex, the coarser punctuation intermixed with numerous very flue punctures 

 which render the elytra duller. The pygidium is nearly Hat and vertical, very 

 densely aciculate and dull , and has a longitudinal median carina which is most 

 strongly raised at the apex and becomes gradually obsolete towards the base, the 

 apical underpart is iiolished, sparingly punctured and more convex than in tiibcnii- 

 /atiis, and is not impressed; the sculpture and clothing of the underside are similar, 

 but the hind tibiae are furnished with a more distinct sub apical tooth and their 

 apical spurs are less recurved, the tarsi are also slontir. Length IV mm. Mengo, 

 Uganda (K. Brown). Coll. Janson. 



The carinate pygidium and very feebly costato elytra distinguish itirom C. /)m>- 

 pitiqiiiis, I'eringuey, to which it is nearly allied. I have only seen the female sex.
