328 Mr. G. C. Champion on various African 
Fourteen specimens, including five males. An insect 
easily recognized in the ¢-sex by the laterally depressed, 
mesially sulcate, binodose head, the subpedunculate eyes, the 
very large, somewhat trumpet-shaped, appendiculate second 
antennal joint, and the rufo-testaceous legs (the femora in part 
excepted), head, antennze, and prothorax. The ? is separable 
from the same sex of L. bulbifer by these colour-characters, 
the shorter antennz, the closely punctured head, ete. JL. 
ceruleipennis, Pic (1914), from Kulu, and ZL. testaceiceps, Pic 
(1912), from ‘ Indes,” are similarly-coloured insects: the 
former is larger, and differs in the ¢-characters, and the 
latter is smaller, than LZ. nodifrons, of which there is a ? 
from Mysore in the Oxford Museum and another from 
Colombo in the British Museum. 
7. Laius luteofasciatus. 
Laius luteofasciatus, Pic, L’Echange, xxiv. p. 96 (1908). 
?. Elongate, rather narrow, widened posteriorly, very 
shining, sparsely pilose; nigro-cyaneous, the antenne (the 
testaceous joints 1-4 excepted) and legs black, the elytra 
violaceous, with a rather broad, common, luteous ante- 
median fascia, which is widened outwards and at the suture. 
Head small, sulcate, finely punctate ; antennz# long, joints 
l and 2 thickened, elongate, 1 curved, 2 almost straight, 
3-9 longer than broad, gradually increasing in length. 
Prothorax wider than the head, nearly as long as broad, 
convex, strongly constricted towards the base; densely 
punctured along the sides and very sparsely so on the 
disc. Elytra long, much wider than the prothorax, rounded 
at the apex, closely, coarsely punctate. 
Length 3% mm. 
Hab. Burma, Pegu (type of Pic). 
A specimen from the Entomological Club collection, 
acquired by the Museum in 1844, is doubtless referable to 
the imperfectly described L. luteofasciatus, Pic, the type of 
which must also be 9. The insect from which the above 
description is taken is unfortunately without locality-label. 
L. annamitus, Pic (1908), and LZ. fasciatus, Bourg. (1890), 
are allied forms. 
8. Laius lunatus, sp. n. 
? . Moderately elongate, rather broad, widened posteriorly, 
shining, thickly clothed with long, erect, blackish hairs 
intermixed with a scattered greyish pubescence ; black, the
