African Species of Erotylide. 149 
striatis, intervallis subtiliter crebre punctulatis; tibiis apice 
latissimis, acute angulatis; antennis crassis, clava lata, haud 
truncata. 
Long. 5:5 mm.; lat. max. 2°75 mm. 
Nyasatanp: Mlanje (S. A. Neave, Dec., Jan.). 
This species and Tritoma nigrina, Gorh., were found 
together in the above locality, but the latter was far more 
numerous. A. fristis bears considerable resemblance to 
that species, but is rather larger and more elongate, with 
larger and more coarsely-facetted eyes. The antenne are 
stout, the third joint only slightly elongate, the club compact 
and broadly oval in shape, not abruptly truncate at the end. 
The prosternum and abdomen are very densely punctured, 
and the entire lower surface is finely pubescent. 
This is rather less elongate in form and a little smaller than 
the other African species which I refer to Amblyopus. 
Tritoma soror, sp. n. 
Omnino ferrugineo-rufa, pedibus paulo pallidioribus, antennarumque 
clava nigra ; late ovalis, convexa, nitida, capite et pronoto sub- 
tiliter punctatis, oculis minute granulatis, pronoti lateribus 
leviter arcuatis, elytris minute striato-punctatis, intervallis sub- 
tilissime punctulatis ; pedibus robustis, tibiis 4 posterioribus ad 
extremitates late dilatatis, antennarum clava anguste ovata: 
3, pedibus validioribus, femoribus incrassatis, tibiisque longioribus 
atque magis dilatatis. 
Long. 4 mm.; lat. max. 3 mm. 
Nyasatanp: Mlanje (S. A. Neave, Jan.). 
This is closely related to 7. senegalensis, Crotch, and of 
the same form and colour, but more finely punctured, espe- 
cially upon the pronotum. The last five joints of the antenna 
(not three only) are black. The size and general shape are 
almost those of the familiar European species, 7. bipustulata, 
but the colour is brick-red, the legs are stouter, and the club, 
of the antenna is long and narrow.
