54 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new or little-known 
Dark greenish blue, the whole upper surface finely corrugated ; head 
coarsely punctured in front, epistome dark brown, shining, lip rounded, 
covered with greyish hairs, eyes black; prothorax scarcely longer than 
broad, irregularly rounded at the sides; scutellum triangular, very con- 
cave; elytra nearly parallel, without raised lines ; body beneath shining 
chalybeate blue, sparsely pubescent; femora blue, the posterior very 
slightly clavate ; tibize and tarsi blue, covered with short stiff hairs, claws 
reddish testaceous ; antennz blue, the basal joint coarsely punctured, 
the last four joints in the female very short and thick, Length 6 lines. 
This long-known species has not, so far as I know, been hitherto 
described. It may be at once distinguished from its congeners by 
its short and corrugated prothorax ; but, like the others, its colour is 
more decidedly blue than green. 
Avopasya [ Lamiidee ]. 
Caput parvum, verticale; oculis emarginatis. Antenne pilose, articulo 
basali subcylindrico, tertio longissimo, ceteris brevissimis. Prothorax 
gibbosus, subquadratus, lateraliter spinosus. -Elytra parallela. Tarsi 
breves. Pro- et mesosternum simplicia, acetabula antica angulata. 
Corpus subelongatum. 
Chatosoma pilosum of Dejean’s Catalogue is the type of this genus, 
but as the generic name has been used for one of the Cucujidee, it is 
necessary to substitute another. In the above work it was placed 
between Desmiphora and Cloniocerus, but it appears to me to be 
more nearly related to Hebestola. It is not mentioned by M. James 
Thomson in his ‘ Essai,’ &c.; indeed it seems to be a very scarce 
insect, only to be seen in a few old collections. My specimen is 
from the collection of Mr. Waterhouse. 
Apodasya pilosa. 
A. ferruginea, grisescente-pubescens, pilis longis albis nigrisque tecta ; 
prothorace disco nigro; antennis pedibusque infuscatis. 
Hab. South Africa. 
Ferruginous, covered with a very fine greyish pubescence, and with 
long erect white hairs mingled with black; head rather small; epi- 
stome and lip very distinct, the latter rounded anteriorly ; palpi pointed ; 
eyes deeply emarginate ; antenne very hairy, arising from two diverging 
tubercles, shorter than the body, the basal joint subcylindrical, the 
third as long as the rest together, a dense fascicle of black hairs enve- 
loping the fourth joint and apex of the third; prothorax short, irregularly 
vibbous, a strong tooth on each side posteriorly, the disk with a large 
black spot; scutellum very small, black; elytra parallel, elongate, 
broader than the prothorax, very coarsely punctured ; body beneath 
yellowish ferruginous, the sides of the metathorax and base of the 
abdomen brown; legs brownish. Length 5 lines.
