Hah. Sierra Leone. 



Prothorax above with twelve nearly parallel longitudinal lines, 

 and with four transverse impressions, two near the base and two 

 anteriorly. Elytra with closely approximated rows of very strong 

 and somewhat oblong punctures ; with a pubescence almost limited 

 to six or seven fulvous spots on each, four of which are placed 

 obliquely at about the apical third. Abdomen with the posterior 

 border of the first, and spots at the sides of all the segments, 

 fulvous. 



StatJimodera aureicornis, n. s. 



Prothorace vitta lata fulva utrinque ; dorso lineis duodecim 

 longitudiualibus sub-parallelis, lineis transversis anticis obsoletis ; 

 elytris minus valde punctatis, lateraliter utrinque uni-carinatis, 

 griseo-pubescentibus, regione suturali antice et fascia obliqua sub- 

 media suf-fuscis ; autennarum articulis basalibus sub-aurato-pubes- 

 centibus. Long. 8 ; lat. 2| mm. 



Hah. Sierra Leone. 



From the preceding differs by the broader fulvous vitta on each 

 side of the prothorax ; the longitudinal lines of the pronotum less 

 parallel, the anterior tranverse lines less distinct, the most anterior 

 being almost absent ; the elytra with a greyish pubescence, the 

 punctures seen through which appear much smaller and the rows 

 less approximate ; the punctures on the less pubescent fuscous 

 region near the suture appearing large enough ; each elytron with 

 a slightly sinuate carina beginning a little behind and below the 

 shoulder, and extending to near the base of the external spine. 

 Antennie with a somewhat golden metallic pubescence on three or 

 four of the basal joints. (In fresh specimens this pubescence would 

 probably be seen to extend to nearly all the joints.) 



Amphistylus {Spalacopsiiice) , n. g. 

 Differs from Spalacopsis by the following characters : — 

 Head more elongated. Antennae shorter than the body (J ?), 

 destitute of long hairs or cilia, almost glabroiis, the basal joints 

 onl^^ with a very short close pubescence ; the scape not reaching 

 to the anterior border of the prothorax, the third joint distinctly 

 longer than the scape, and nearly three times as long as the fourth
