306 Mr. G. C. Champion on various African 



extended over the third, as in the £ of that insect. Smaller 

 and less robust than H. janthinus, Fairm. (goossensi, Pic), 

 the elytral puncturing much finer, the intermediate tibiae 

 of S narrow. 



47. Hapalochrus angulatus, sp. n. 



^ . Elongate, somewhat convex, shining, the head sub- 

 opaque ; thickly clothed with rather long, semi-erect hairs ; 

 cyaneous, bluish-green, or green, the antennal joints 1-3 in 

 part, and the intermediate femora at the base, testaceous, 

 the rest of the legs and antennae black or metallic. Head 

 densely punctulate; antennas not very stout, subfiliform. 

 Prothorax transverse, obliquely narrowed behind, closely 

 punctulate laterally, almost smooth on the disc. Elytra 

 long, widened to near the apex, broadly rounded at the tip ; 

 densely, not very coarsely punctate. Anterior tibiae com- 

 pressed and slightly sinuate ; anterior tarsal joints 1 and 2 

 sightly thickened, subequal in length, 2 with a claw-like 

 extension over 3 ; intermediate tibite (PL VIII. fig. 28) 

 moderately thickened, angularly dilated at the middle 

 externally, and deeply, sinuously excavate from about the 

 basal third to near the apex, and also excavate at the tip, 

 beneath. 



$ . Legs wholly black or metallic. 



Length 4-4 T \p breadth 2 mm. ( £ ? .) 



Hab. E. Africa, E. foot and slopes of Aberdare Mts., 

 alt. 7000-8500 ft. (S. A. Neave : 24-27. ii. 1911 : $, type). 



Described from two males with precisely similar ^-cha- 

 racters, the angular lateral median dilatation of the inter- 

 mediate tibiae being an unusual development in the genus. 

 H. rollti and H. sinuatipes, Pic (1911), from " E. Africa," 

 are perhaps allied forms. 



48. Hapalochrus cyanocephalus, sp. n. 



$ . Elongate, rather narrow, shining, the head opaque ; 

 finely pubescent, and also clothed with long, semi-erect, 

 fuscous hairs ; head and prothorax cyaneous, the elytra 

 green, the antennal joints 1-4 in part, the bases of the 

 intermediate femora beneath and the ventral segments 

 (some black markings excepted) testaceous, the rest of the 

 legs, antennae, and under surface black. Head rugulosely 

 punctulate ; antennae long, rather stout, subfiliform. Pro- 

 thorax broader than long, very sparsely punctulate, smooth 

 on the disc. Elytra long, gradually widening to near the 

 apex, the latter rounded; densely, rugulosely punctured.
