262 Mr. G. C. Champion on various African 



Hub. S.E. Africa, Howick in Natal (J. P. Cregoe : $ ), 

 Durban (i^ 7 . Wr : ? ), Zululand (ex coll. Fry : <$ ? ). 



Two males and three females. Very like H. mashunus, 

 Gorh., the $ with broader intermediate tibiae, which on the 

 lower surface are deeply, obliquely excavate and ciliate along 

 the inner edge only, and have a longer tooth at the inner 

 angle. The imperfectly described H. rollei, Pic (1911), 

 length 4*6 mm., from " E. Africa," the $ of which has 

 stout, appendiculate middle tibiae, seems to be a close ally 

 of the present, species. H. appendicifer, Pic, has more 

 coarsely punctured elytra, etc. 



41. Hapalochrus densatus. 



Hapalochrus {Paratinus) densatus, Bour<y. in Sjoatedt's Kilimandjaro- 

 Meru Exped., i. Abt. 7, No. 10, p. 136 (tf $') (1908). 



$ . Antennae rather slender, subfiliform, moderately long ; 

 anterior trochanters unarmed: anterior tibiae feebly dilated 

 beyond the middle and excavate before the apex; anterior 

 tarsal joints 1 and 2 slightly thickened, 2 projecting over 3 ; 

 intermediate femora sinuate (not angulate) beneath; interme- 

 diate tibiae rather broadly, abruptly incrassate from about the 

 basal third to the tip, deeply excavate and furnished with a coin- 

 pressed, curved, retractile appendage before the apex within. 



Hab. E. and W. Central Africa, Kilimandjaro and 

 Meru, Kibonoto (Dr. Sjbstedt), Hima River, Uganda 

 (Dr. Bayer: 4. iv. 1912: £), Wombwali, Belgian Congo 

 (P. Vanderijst: vii., ix. 1913 : <J ? ). 



Females from Wombwali in the Congo Museum agree 

 with a co-type of the same sex of H. densatus lent me by 

 Dr. Sjostedt ; but the identification of the four males from 

 that locality and from the Hiva River is somewhat doubtful, 

 Bourgeois not having mentioned the appendage of the 

 intermediate tibiae, which, however, is not always visible at 

 first sight. These specimens (length 3-3^ mm.) have the 

 elytra a little more elongate than in H. longicornis and 

 H. patruelis, and are clothed with rather long whitish hairs, 

 the male having slender antennae, unarmed anterior trochan- 

 ters, and the intermediate femora simply sinuate beneath. 

 H. mashunus, Gorh., has broader antennae in the $ , the 

 elytra more finely punctured, &c. 



42. Hapalochrus cinerascens, sp. n. 

 $ . Elongate-subtri angular, shining, thickly clothed with 

 long, adpressed, cinereous pubescence, with a few semi-erect 

 hairs intermixed ; bluish-green, the antennae (the testaceous
