has the elytra rounded or very slightly produced at the apex, 

 and the confused puncturing closer and finer. 



57. Hapalochrus maynei. 

 <$ . Hapalochrus maynei, Pic, Rev. Zool. Africa, iii. p. 381 (1914). 



cJ . Antennae comparatively short and slender, subnliform, 

 joints 3-5 not longer than broad ; anterior trochanters 

 unarmed ; anterior tibiae slender, slightly compressed beyond 

 the middle ; anterior tarsal joints 1 and 2 a little thickened, 

 2 extending over the base of 3 ; intermediate femora 

 slender ; intermediate tibiae feebly incrassate, distinctly 

 sinuate externally, foveate at about the middle beneath. 



Hab. W. Central Africa, Congo da Lemba [type] 

 (R. Maynei v. 1912, i.-iv. 1913: g ? ), Nyangwe {R. 

 Mayne : iii.-iv. 1918 : ? ), Amadi (P. van den Plas : 

 iii.-iv. 1913 : ? ). 



The <J -characters given above are taken from a long 

 series from Congo da Lemba, including the type and 

 numerous other specimens of the same sex. Amongst the 

 various very similar insects from the same region, H. den- 

 satus, longicornis, patruelis, &c, all of "which have the sides 

 of the prothorax rugulose, H. maynei may be distinguished 

 by its small size (length 2.\-2§ mm.), the short, slender 

 antennae in both sexes, the feebly thickened intermediate 

 tibiae in $ , and the finely punctured elytra. 



58. Hapalochrus dollmani, sp. n. 



$ . Elongate, narrow, almost parallel-sided, shining, 

 clothed with fine whitish pubescence intermixed with very 

 long, erect, fuscous hairs ; bluish-green, the head and pro- 

 thorax with a faint brassy tinge, the mouth-parts, basal joints 

 of antennae, and the tibiae, tarsi (except at their tips), and 

 ventral sutures, testaceous, the rest of the antennae black. 

 Head sparsely punctulate, tumid in the middle in front ; 

 antennae slender, serrate, rather elongate. Prothorax 

 broader than long, nearly as wide as the anterior portion of 

 the elytra, narrowed behind, convex, deeply foveate in the 

 middle and excavate laterally at the base, sparsely punctate 

 along the margins. Elytra long, slightly widened poste- 

 riorly, depressed on the disc below the base, densely, very 

 finely, rugulosely punctate. 



Length 4^, breadth 15 mm. 



Hab. E. Africa, Mwengwa, N.W. Rhodesia (H. C. Doll- 

 man: 13. iv. 1904).
