and Asiatic Species of Hapalochrus. 315 



one specimen, the antennae (the testaceous lower surface of 

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

 and prothorax almost smooth, the head short, broad, the 

 prothorax transverse, obliquely narrowed behind ; antennae 

 rather stout, the joints longer than broad. Elytra widening 

 posteriorly, rounded at the apex, transversely excavate on 

 the disc anteriorly and depressed along the suture at the 

 base ; unequally punctate, the punctures coarse and crowded 

 at the sides and more scattered on the disc, becoming very 

 fine or obsolete at the base and apex. Anterior trochanters 

 producedinto a very short tooth; anterior tibiae rather slender, 

 obliquely excavate, and with the inner margin diaphanous 

 towards the apex ; anterior tarsal joint 2 shorter than 1, 

 simple ; intermediate tibiae almost straight, becoming gradu- 

 ally stouter towards the apex, and furnished with a rather 

 long narrow lobe at the inner apical angle and a curved 

 pencil of hairs beneath the outer angle. 



? . Antennae not quite so stout ; body fully winged. 



Length 4^-5, breadth 2^-21 mm. (J 1 ? .) 



Hab. E. Africa, Mlanje in Nyasaland (S. A. Neave : 

 8. i. 1913 : <$ ? ), Lusinga Isl., E. Victoria Nyanza (S. A. 

 Neave: iv. 1911 : ? ). 



A pair from Mlanje and a ? from Lusinga. More 

 elongate than H. semilavis, the puncturing of the disc of the 

 elytra more diffuse ; the $ with a shorter spur to the 

 anterior trochanters, the anterior tibiae less sinuate, and the 

 intermediate pair straighter, less swollen, and bearing a 

 longer appendage at the inner apical angle. The anterior 

 tarsi of $ are simple as in H. amplipennis and //. modestus. 



61. Hapalochrus triangularis, sp. n. 



^ . Of the general f acies of //. modestus, Bourg. ; brassy 

 green above ; antennae rather slender ; prothorax obliquely 

 narrowed and very feebly sinuate at the sides before the 

 base; elytra comparatively short, much widened posteriorly, 

 bluntly rounded and somewhat convex at the apex, the 

 puncturing not quite so coarse ; anterior trochanters 

 toothed ; anterior tibiae feebly dilated at. the middle (as 

 in H, modestus) ; anterior tarsi simple ; intermediate tibiae 

 (PL VIII. fig. 29) strongly incrassate, convex and rounded 

 externally, excavate and with a short compressed lobe near 

 the inner apical angle. 



Length 3^, breadth 1 ^ mm. 



Hab. E. Afhica, Kikuyu Escarpment, Kijabe-Limuru, 

 Uganda Railway, alt. 7000 ft. (S. A. Neave : iii. 1911).
