XXXVITI.—On some Additional Species of the Genus 
Hapalochrus, Er. [Coleoptera]. By G. C. CHAMPion, 
F.Z.S8. 
Srnce the publication of the concluding portion of my Notes 
on this genus in the December number of the last volume of 
this magazine (ser. 9, vol. vi. pp. 537-539), several in- 
teresting and unexpected additions have been detected in the 
collection at the British Museum and in that of Mr. H. E. 
Andrewes. It is advisable, therefore, to name these insects 
in order to incorporate them with the rest in the National 
Collection. Two of them are African and four Indian, the 
types of the latter having been presented by Mr, Andrewes 
to the Museum. Amongst the Ceylon insects, three more 
males of H. malabarensis, Pic (No. 72 of my earlier papers), 
have been found: these were captured by Mr. G. Lewis at 
Colombo, in 1882; they have the legs testaceous, with the 
apices of the femora, and the base and apex of the posterior 
tibie also, black. 
9 (a). Hapalochrus cyaneoguttatus, sp. n. 
$. Elongate, rather convex, widened posteriorly, shining, 
clothed with rather long, pallid, semierect hairs; testaceous, 
the head to the anterior margin and the scutellum metallic 
ereen, the outer antennal rami slightly infuscate, the pro- 
thorax reddish, the elytra each with a very large, subtriangular, 
posteriorly-excised patch at the base and a broad subapical 
fascia (both reaching the outer margin, but not extending to the 
suture, the subapical fascia curving downwards to the apical 
margin externally) cyaneous ; the head densely, finely, the 
prothorax very sparsely, minutely, the elytra closely, rather 
coarsely, punctured. Head narrower than the prothorax ; 
antenne long, with joints 1 and 2 thickened, 2 triangular, 3 and 
following joints each with a rather stout, long ramus, the rami 
increasing in length outwards. Prothorax transverse, convex, | 
rounded at the sides, plicate laterally, and deeply grooved 
within the basal margin. Hlytra moderately long. Anterior 
tarsal joint 2 extending over 3, nigro-pectinate at the tip; 
anterior femora stout, toothed near the middle beneath ; 
anterior tibie hollowed towards the apex within, the inter- 
mediate pair simple. 
Length 4 mm.
