] SG Mr. G. C. Champion on various African 



basal joint of the antennae beneath, the anterior and inter- 

 mediate femora in part, and the anterior tibiae on their 

 inner aspect, testaceous, the abdomen in great part red. 

 Head broad, closely punctulate ; antennae long, stout, 

 pectinate from the third joint onward. Prothorax broad, 

 as wide as the elytra at the base, subtrapezoidal as seen from 

 above, sparsely punctulate, smooth and canaliculate on the 

 middle of the disc. Elytra widened posteriorly, densely, 

 rugosely punctate ; the apices almost smooth, dehiscent, 

 compressed and angulate at some distance from the sutural 

 angle (? abnormally formed). Anterior femora incrassate, 

 toothed at the middle beneath ; anterior and intermediate 

 tibiae strongly sinuate, the latter deeply excavate near the 

 apex within ; anterior tarsal joints 1 and 2 thickened, sub- 

 equal in length. 



? . Antennae rather short, not very stout, feebly serrate, 

 their joints 1-3, and the anterior and intermediate femora 

 to near the apex, testaceous ; abdomen red ; anterior femora 

 without tooth. 



Length 4f-6£, breadth 2£-3i mm. (<??.) 

 Hab. E. Africa, Njoro {R. H. Deakin : <$ : vi. 1914), 

 Ruiru (T. J. Anderson : ? : xi. 1917). 



One pair, the $ , type, labelled as having been found in 

 the cocoon of a " bagworm " (Psychid moth), the ? much 

 smaller, the two sexes with similarly-coloured legs. Separ- 

 able from H. sj'dstedti by the anically emargiuate intermediate 

 tibiae and the darker legs of the male, and the partly testa- 

 ceous anterior and intermediate femora of the female, the 

 male relatively broader.

? Hapalochrus simoni, Pic, Melanges exot.-entorn. v. p. 6 (J) (March 

 1913). 



$ . Moderately elongate, convex, shining, somewhat 

 thickly clothed with fine, whitish, semi-erect hairs; caeruleous, 

 the antennae (the slightly infuscate apical joints excepted), 

 palpi, labrum, and legs testaceous, the abdomen rufo- 

 testaceous. Head broad, closely punctate ; antennae mode- 

 rately long, stout, pectinate from the fourth joint onward. 

 Prothorax transverse, convex, laterally compressed, subtrape- 

 zoidal (as seen from above), sparsely punctate, impressed 

 before the base. Elytra very little broader than the pro- 

 thorax, widened posteriorly, densely, ruguloselv, rather finely 

 punctate. Anterior femora (PL VIII. fig. 1) incrassate, 

 toothed at the middle beneath; anterior tibiae (PI. VIII.
