20 Rey. H. S. Gorham’s descriptions of 
[Section A. b.] 
Stenotarsus punctato-striatus, n. sp. 
Oblongo-ovatus, nitidus, griseo-pubescens, thorace antice 
angustato, margine laterali deplanato, parum elevato; elytris 
punctorum seriebus octo impressis interstitiis fere glabris, 
antennarum clava valida nigra. Long. lin. 24. 
Thorax with the sides strongly narrowed in front, sinu- 
ate, forming acute hind angles; lateral margins of nearly 
even width, a little raised, flat. Elytra narrower than in 
Guineensis, Gerst., or @guatus, Gorh.; the sides more 
rounded and narrowed behind than in those species, thickly 
pubescent, with eight series of small punctures, the pune- 
tures in each separate row being numerous and close, flat- 
bottomed. Antenne of moderate length and stoutness ; 
joints 2 and 8 as wide as long; 3 to 7 longer than wide, 
club stout; black, joints 9 and 10 obconical, slightly 
acuminate within, 11 oblong oval. 
Hab.—Old Calabar. Coll. A. Murray. 
Genus Ruympus. 
Rhymbus Rhizobioides, n. sp. 
Fere hemisphiricus, ferrugineus, nitidus, pube aurea 
erecta vestitus ; thorace brevi subtiliter, elytris distincte 
punctatis, his plus minusve saturate rufis; antennis tes- 
taceis, clava nigra, articulis precedentibus valde longiore, 
articulo ultimo elongato apice oblique truncato. Long. 
lin. 13—2. : 
About the size, but less convex than FR. cocecinelloides, 
Guerin. Thorax very short, base bi-sinuate, produced 
into a prominent lobe before the scutellum; this portion 
(and the scutellar region of the elytra) depressed, base 
and lateral margins bordered with a fine line, disc convex, 
basal sulci of the form usual in this genus of two fine 
arcuate lines parallel to the sides, and half the length of 
the disc. Elytra convex, thickly and finely punctured, 
separate punctures distinct under a strong lens, the whole 
upper surface clothed with a silky golden pile which re- 
flects the light; in one of the two examples before me the 
disc of the elytra is unevenly clouded, the suture and 
margins being left paler, in the other the darker portions 
are only very indistinctly clouded. The antennz are 
short, with the club strongly formed, the two penultimate 
joints being together equal in length to the preceding, 
and the terminal joint longer than the 10th, kidney-
