8 Dr. G. A. K. Marshall on African 
intercoxal process rounded and narrower than the coxa ; 
segment 1 (behind the coxa) longer than 2, and 2 longer 
than 3, the hind margin of segment 1 arcuate. Legs short 
and rather stout; femora moderately clavate and simple; 
tibize unguiculate, the corbels of the hind pair oblique, bare, 
and open, but with the apical edge slightly bent inwards ; 
claws connate. 
In the & the fifth ventral segment is shorter and flat, in 
the ¢ it is a little longer and slightly convex. 
Genotype, Strophosomus kirschi, Faust (Ent. Nachr. xi. 
1885, p. 88). 
Pomphus denticollis, sp. n. (PI. 1. fig. 3.) 
Black, with erey or sandy scaling, the pronotum with a 
very broad median brown stripe, and the elytra with very 
variable dark brown markings, which are sometimes almost 
entirely obliterated. 
Head almost flat on the forehead and set with stout erect 
sete, the integument quite hidden by the scaling. Rostrum 
with the sides strongly convergent from the eyes to beyond 
the middle, thence nearly parallel ; upper surface with two 
deep sulci strongly diverging from the centre of the base as 
far as the middle of the disk, the lateral areas outside them 
being shallowly impressed ; the central carina is prominent 
where it meets the epistome, but diminishes behind and 
disappears about the middle; the clothing as on the forehead. 
Antenne with the apical half of the scape squamose ; funicle 
with joints 8, 4, and 6 subequal and slightly longer than 
broad, 5 a little shorter, 7 as long as 6 but distinctly broader. 
Prothorax twice and a half as broad as long, the base (when 
seen clear of the elytra) not broader than the apex ; the sides, 
as seen from above, distinctly denticulate, there being a 
specially marked projection close to the base, and the apical 
angles prominent ; apical margin strongly reflexed down the 
sides, the ridge thus formed ceasing abruptly on a line 
with the outer edge of the coxa; upper surface strongly 
convex transversely, closely set with rather indefinite 
granules (the rugose sculpturing beimg hidden by the 
sealing), and with a central furrow that reaches neither the 
base nor the apex; the longitudinal outline only slightly 
curved, the apex being only a little lower than the base. 
Elytra with the sides strongly rounded, broadest about the 
middle, scarcely striate, but with rather irregular rows of 
punctures, which are conspicuous through the scaling and 
often duplicated; the intervals broad, finely aciculate
