new species of Endomycici. 443 



M ancoriger; humeral callus prominent and glabrous, the 

 rest of the disc umformlj, and distinctly, but not deeply 

 punctured. ^ •'^ 



Hab. — Cameroon Mountains. 



This is the first species of Mycetina I have seen from 

 Airica, and it fuUy agrees with the Eastern members of 

 the genus. At present I can discover no characters to 

 separate the tropical species generically from those of the 

 northern temperate zone. 



Genus EpoPTERUS, Erichson. 

 Epopterus Clara, n. sp. 



_ Ovalis, testaceus, fere impubis, parcius leviter punctatus, 

 nitidus ; antcnuis articidis quatuor ultimis, elytris maculis 

 septem,_ duabus basalibus, tribus discoidalibus, duabus 

 ante apicem nigris. Long. lin. If. 



Thorax widest at the base, considerably narrowed in 

 front, sides sinuate, and finely margined ; anterior angles 

 rather blunt, hind angles acute ; its disc evenly, not 

 closely punctured, more strongly so at the hind angles ; 

 elytra Avidest at about one-third their length from the 

 base, sides evenly rounded from base to apex, finely 

 margined, the margin vanishing before the apex; disc 

 finely, sides more coarsely punctured; humeral callus 

 not large but distinct ; each with seven irregularly- 

 shajDcd black spots, arranged — two basal (of which the 

 external one is just below, partly on the callus), two 

 medial, confluent near the margin, one irregular and not 

 very distinct near the suture, two a quarter the length of 

 the elytra from the apex ; of these the inner one is the 

 larger, linear, and oblicpiely placed. Antennre pale yel- 

 low, Avith the club and one joint preceding black ; legs 

 pale. 



The smallest Epopterus I have yet seen, being rather 

 smaller than E. his trio and of nearly similar form. It is 

 easily recognized by having none of the usual varied brown 

 pattern, only black spots; and /oz^r joints of the antennae 

 black. 



Uab. — Amazons. 



Epopterus dives, n. sp. 

 Brevis, piceus, nitidus, parcius sat fortitcr ^punctatus ; 

 elytris piceo-brunueis macula basah triramosa, fasciaque
