There is a long and variable series of this species, 

 including a dozen males, in the British Museum, and a <$ 

 and ? of it from Kibonoto named by Bourgeois have been 

 sent me by Dr. Sjostedt for examination. The upper 

 surface is usually cyaneous or bluish-green, the prothorax 

 being brassy-cupreous in the pair from Lake Mutandu. 

 Some of them have the prothorax distinctly sinuate before 

 the base, and one or two others have the elytra obsoletely 

 unicostate. The head and prothorax are almost smooth, 

 and the elytra are very coarsely punctured. The elytra iu 

 the females vary in length, probably according to the develop- 

 ment of the wings, one of the three from Elgon having them 

 considerably longer than the others. The Mutandu speci- 

 mens approach U.semicupreus, Pic, as here recognized. Lakes 

 latipennis, Pic (1906), type ? , from Rodolph, E. Africa, is 

 queried by Bourgeois as synonymous with H. amplipennis, 

 Harold ; but, if correctly identified by me, it is separable from 

 the latter by the elongate, narrow third antenna! joint in that 

 sex, and therefore belongs to Heterolaius (cf. ante, p. 179). 



66. Hapaloclirus modestus. 



Hapaloclirus (Paratiiuis) modestus, Bourg. in Sjostedt's Kilimandjaro- 

 Meru Exped. i. Abt. 7, No. 10, p. 184 ( tf $ ) (1908). 



$ . Anterior tibia? feebly dilated at the middle, the dilated 

 portion not produced into a tooth; the other characters as 

 in H. amplipennis, Harold. 



Hah. E. Africa, Kilimandjaro and Meru, Kibonoto 

 (Dr. Sjostedt : cJ ? ) . 



Dr. Sjostedt has kindly lent me a pair of this species. 

 Apart from the less dilated anterior tibia? of the male, they 

 have the prothorax more constricted at the base than usual 

 in H. amplipennis, a long and variable series of which 

 (including a pair named by Bourgeois) is before me.
