12 Rey. H. 8. Gorham’s descriptions of 
The female has the club of the antennze very much less 
dilated, and its apical joint short, and nearly wholly 
testaceous. 
Hab.—Old Calabar, Coll. Fry. Gabon, Coll. Gorham. 
Obs.—I have in my Catalogue (End. Rec., p. 11) 
referred this species to Erotyloides, Gerst. It is, how- 
ever, quite distinct, though resembling it in colour and 
pattern; it may be known by its ereater size, and more 
elongate form. The male of Erot tyloides is not known. 
The specimen in my collection is labelled “ longanimis, 
Th.” The description given by Thomson being so brief, 
I have thought it better to re-describe this species. 
Trycherus Fryanus, n. sp. 
Oblongus, elytris ovalibus, nigro-piceus, nitidus, elytris 
rufo-piceis, margine later ais maculis tribus, und sub- 
humerali, duabus oblongis mediis in fasciam fere digestis, 
sutura, apiceque indeterminate nigro-piceis. Long. lin. 4, . 
Mas, tibiis intermedius dente parvulo sub-apicali in- 
structis, apice infra dentem incurvato. 
Head thickly, rather strongly, thorax more spar- 
ingly and lightly punctured; the latter transverse- 
quadrate, with the sides parallel from the base to the 
middle, thence narrowed to the apical angles. Hind 
angles right; lateral margins somewhat thickened and 
raised; surface uneven; basal sulci indistinctly defined. 
Elytra wider and more oval than in ¢ricolor, Gerst., 
thickly and strongly punctured, pitchy-red, with the 
margins entirely (except at the base near the scutellum) 
of the same dark pitchy-black as the rest of the body; the 
same colour forms two oblong spots, conjoined in the 
middle, and which also join the margin, and the apex is 
also dark. The club of the antennz is not much dilated; 
joints 4—8 are longer than wide, 9 and 10 oradually 
widened; apical short, transverse} legs and underside 
dark pitchy. In the single specimen which I have seen, 
and which is a male, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th segments an 
the abdomen beneath are a little raised in the middle 
of their hind margins. The middle tibize have their 
apices bent inwards in the broken-looking way so frequent 
in the Humorphide, and with a minute tooth just above 
this inflexion. It is scarcely correct to describe them as 
incised, though they have this appearance.
