One female. Near the Palsearctic H. femoralis, Er., and 

 similarly coloured ; the antennse longer, serrate ; the head 

 much smoother ; the elytra more densely punctate ; the erect, 

 dark, bristly hairs on the upper surface longer. The <£ pro- 

 bably has slender intermediate tibiae, as in the less elongate 

 S. African H. dasytiformis (No. 10), and in the northern 

 H. femoralis and its allies. In the absence of this sex, H. 

 dollmani cannot be included in the Key given on pp. 179-180. 



59. Hapalochrus semilavis, sp. n. 



$ . Rather short, pilose, very shining ; bluish-green, the 

 elytra cyaneous, the antennas (the testaceous lower surface 

 of the basal joints excepted) black or metallic. Head and 

 prothorax almost smooth, the head short, broad, the pro- 

 thorax transverse, obliquely narrowed behind ; antennas 

 rather slender, the joints from 3 onwards much longer than 

 broad, 2 longer than 3. Elytra rather short, rapidly 

 widened from the base, blunt at the tip, transversely 

 depressed on the disc below the base and along the suture 

 anteriorly ; coarsely, closely punctate, almost smooth at the 

 base and apex. Anterior trochanters sharply toothed ; 

 anterior tibiae rather stout, strongly sinuate, compressed 

 and excavate towards the apex within, and abruptly 

 emarginate and diaphanous on its inner edge before the tip ; 

 anterior tarsal joint 2 short, simple ; intermediate tibiae 

 rapidly thickened from the base, becoming very stout 

 towards the apex, rounded and convex externally, hollowed 

 before the tip within, and with a short, compressed lobe at 

 the inner apical angle. 



Length 41, breadth 2 mm. 



Hab. E. Africa, Dedza District, Central Angoniland, 

 alt. 4000-5000 ft. (S. A. Neave : 21-27. v. 1910). 



One male. In this insect the elytra are rather short and 

 sub triangular, coarsely, closely punctured at the sides and 

 across the middle, and almost impunctate at the base 

 and apex, a form of sculpture unusual in the present genus ; 

 and the anterior trochanters are sharply toothed, the anterior 

 tibias strongly sinuate, and the intermediate tibiae very 

 stout. The nearest allied form in the collections before 

 me, H. inagualis from Nyasaland &c, also has simple 

 anterior tarsi in <£ . 



60. Hapalochrus inaqualis, sp. n. 



3 . Moderately elongate, clothed with erect, blackish, 

 bristly hairs ; brilliant bluish-green, the elytra cyaneous in
