and Asiatic Species of Hapalochrus. 253 



rently referable to H. martini, Pic, described a little earlier 

 in the same year ; and another example of the same sex 

 from Zanzibar, brilliant cyaneous in colour, can be placed 

 under H. appendicifer for the present. //. mashunus, Gorh., 

 and various other African Hapalochri have very similar tibial 

 appendages. 



30. Hapalochrus (Brosus. 

 Hapalochrus eerostis, Gorli. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) vii. p. 859 

 (J?) (1901). 



£ . Antennae stout, subserrate ; anterior trochanters 

 with a long tooth ; anterior femora curved, feebly angulate 

 and bearing a small tuft of hairs near the base beneath ; 

 anterior tibiae widened to near the tip and then obliquely 

 compressed and deeply emarginate ; anterior tarsal joints 

 1 and 2 slightly thickened, 2 extending over 3 ; intermediate 

 femora curved, stout, angularly dilated and inferiorlv foveate 

 at the middle (appearing deeply excised at the base) ; inter- 

 mediate tibiae very stout, broadly widened outwards, and 

 with a short, flattened, retractile lobe arising from above 

 the inner angle, the lower surface deeply foveate at the 

 middle and obliquely excavate towards the apex. 

 ? . Antennae more slender. 



Nab. S.E. Africa, Kopjes west of Lesapi River, Chirinda 

 (G. A. K. Marshall). 



Twelve specimens seen, including five males. Separable 

 from H. mashunus by the brassy colour, coarser elytral 

 puncturing, and the different J -characters. Gorham did 

 not note the strong, angular dilatation of the intermediate 

 femora in that sex of the present species, of which there is 

 no trace in H. mashunus. The $ , too, has both the inter- 

 mediate femora and tibiae foveate at the middle beneath. 



31. Hapalochrus longicornis, sp. n. 

 <£ . Moderately elongate, narrow, shining, closely pubes- 

 cent ; cyaneous or bluish-green, the antennae (the testaceous 

 lower surface of one or more of the basal joints excepted), 

 palpi, and legs black or metallic, the ventral sutures 

 testaceous. Head closely punctulate ; antennae subfilit'orm, 

 very long, reaching to at least the middle of the elytra, 

 rather stout. Prothorax slightly broader than long, rounded 

 at the sides, the lateral portions densely, rugulosely punctate, 

 the disc almost smooth. Elytra not very elongate, widened 

 posteriorly, rounded and rather convex at the apex, depressed 

 on the disc anteriorly ; densely, rather coarsely punctate. 

 Anterior trochanters with a minute tooth : anterior tibiae
