316 Mr. Gr. C. Champion on various African 



One male. A larger, more robust ? (length 5 mm.), 

 found at a lower elevation S.of Lake George, with stouter 

 antennae and relatively longer elytra, and another from 

 E. Busoga, cyaneous in colour, both taken by Dr. Neave, 

 may belong to the same species. H. viridimetallicus, 

 jeanneli, and lusanganus var. dentaticoxis, Pic (1919), are 

 doubtless allied forms, but the incomplete diagnoses are 

 useless for the purposes of identification ; the sex of the 

 first two of them is not stated, and the third should have a 

 tooth on the anterior trochanters, not on the coxee. 



6.2. Hapalochrus constricticollis, sp. n. 



cJ . Elongate, shining, clothed with long, semi-erect 

 blackish hairs ; head bluish-green, prothorax brassy-black, 

 elytra cyaneous, the antenna?, palpi, legs, and under surface 

 greenish or black, the antennal joints 1-3 testaceous beneath. 

 Head and prothorax very sparsely punctulate, the prothorax 

 almost smooth on the disc, nearly as long as broad, and 

 strongly constricted posteriorly, the basal portion narrow ; 

 antennas long, subfiliform, rather stout. Elytra long, 

 flattened on the disc, widening to near the apex, the latter 

 rounded ; very coarsely, closely, uniformly punctate. 

 Anterior trochanters dentate; anterior tibiae gradually 

 widened to about the middle and then obliquely sulcate and 

 compressed; anterior tarsi simple, joint 2 shorter than 1 ; 

 intermediate tibia? (PL VIII. fig. 30) strongly incrassate, 

 rapidly widening from the base, sinuate externally, and 

 furnished with a rather broad, compressed, outwardly curved, 

 appendage at the inner apical angle, the outer apical 

 angle toothed beneath, the lower surface deeply, obliquely 

 excavate beyond the middle and also excavate at the apex, 

 the apical excavation fringed with long fulvous hairs in front. 



Length 4^, breadth 2^ mm. 



Hab. W. Central Africa, Beni-Lesse, Belgian Congo 

 {Dr. Murtula: vii. 1911). 



One male. More elongate than H. modestus, Bourg., the 

 type of which is before me, the prothorax more strongly 

 constricted before the base, the dilated median portion of 

 the anterior tibise not produced into a tooth (as in H. 

 modestus, the $ thus differing from that of H. amplipennis), 

 the intermediate tibise with a longer, compressed, curved 

 appendage at the inner apical angle. 



63. Hapalochrus cyaneonitens, sp. n. 



<$ . Elongate, rather convex, very shining, thickly clothed 

 with long, erect, blackish, bristly hairs ; brilliant cyaneous,
