Hub. Uganda. 



Head, prothorax, antennae, and legs testaceous ; elytra 

 dark ; the eyes deeply and broadly eraarginate ; prothorax 

 bluntly rounded anteriorly and decreasing in breadth towards 

 the base, rugose in front, but shiny and smooth behind ; 

 elytra very faintly striate-punctate and gradually narrowing 

 to the acute apex, which is lengthened by two blunt broad 

 processes, being continuations of the second elytral inter- 

 stices ; the declivity (commencing from the apical third of 

 the elytra) has the first two strise toothed at the commence- 

 ment and then tuberculate to the apex, a.id the edge of the 

 declivity is provided with numerous teeth, increasing in size 

 towards the apex. 



In one very pale (immature) specimen the only dark 

 portions are the eyes and the elytral declivity. 



These insects were sent me with the specimens of X. in- 

 dustrius, but I am not certain as to whether they were 

 captured at the same time.

Hah. Uganda. 



Head and thorax testaceous ; elytra dark except basally 

 and laterally ; head asperate, with scattered pale pubescence ; 

 eves very deeply and broadly emarginate ; prothorax oblong- 

 cylindi'ical and slightly longer than broad, anteriorly rough- 

 ened and hairy, the posterior part thickly covered with pili- 

 f erous punctures ; scutellum pale but well defined ; elytra 

 punetate-striate with very short hairs, the interstices having 

 a single row of punctures with long hairs ; after the 

 declivity the hairs are continued only along the sutural striae 

 to the apex ; the apical third of the elytra is somewhat 

 abruptly truncate, fornaing a shiny very slight excavation 

 with large shallow irregularly placed punctures, the margin
