336 Mr. G. C. Champion on various African 
tarsi, and apices of the anterior femora testaceous or rufo- 
testaceous, the elytra nigro-cyaneous or nigro-violaceous, each 
with two transverse whitish fasciz—one below the base, 
broad, widened outwards, the other narrow, sinuate, before 
the apex,— which are usually connected by a narrow 
whitish or testaceous sutural streak ; the head and pro- 
thorax very finely punctured, the latter almost smooth on 
the disc and rugulose at the sides, the elytra densely, rather 
coarsely punctate. Head nearly as wide as the prothorax, 
grooved in the middle between the eyes, the latter promi- 
nent; antennal joints | and 2 moderately thickened, elongate, 
subequal in length, 3-10 much longer than broad.  Pro- 
thorax convex, longer than broad, constricted and much 
narrowed behind, compressed at the sides anteriorly, the 
transverse basal depression deep. Elytra rather elongate. 
¢. Antennal joints 1 (the black upper edge excepted) and 
2 testaceous; 1 curved, much widened outwards ; 2 extremely 
stout, concave, transverse, curved externally, broadly 
malleiform (viewed along the longitudinal axis of the 
antenna), and furnished with a long, curled, slender 
appendage on its inner edge (Pl. VIII. fig. 15). 
Length 24-3 mm. (¢ 2.)

Opener): 
Two males and six females. A form of the Egyptian 
Lyvvenustus, Er., with a much broader, appendiculate, hammer- 
shaped second antennal joint in the ¢, the common triangular 
metallic basal patch on the elytra usually connected near the 
suture with the dark interrupted median fascia. Separable 
from DL. ewternenotatus, Pic, by the very differently-shaped 
second antennal joint in g and the broad whitish elytral 
fascie. 
L. sikkimensis, Pic, and its var. testaceilabris (1914), said 
to be extremely near L. yucundus, Bourg., is probably a close 
ally of L. malleifer; it is described as having the second 
(third of Pic) antennal joint of ¢ very broad, subarcuated, 
and not dentated behind.
