334 Mr. G. C. Champion on the 
5. Idgia abyssinica, sp. n. 
?. Elongate, rather narrow, shining, thickly pubescent, 
and also set with scattered, curled or erect, long black 
bristly hairs, those on the disc of the elytra seriately 
arranged, the margins of the latter nigro-ciliate; fulvo- 
testaceous, the head (the labrum excepted), joints 5-11 of 
the antenne, the elytra and abdomen at the tip, and the 
legs (the bases of the femora excepted), black, Head rather 
small, somewhat produced in front ; labrum broad, trans- 
verse, large, angularly dilated; apical joint of maxillary 
palpi subcultriform; eyes large, well separated; antennz 
Jong, rather slender, joints 5-10 slightly widened, subserrate, 
7-10 decreasing in length, 11 much longer than 10, hollowed 
within. Prothorax as long as broad, wider than the head, 
uneven, sparsely, rugulosely punctate. LElytra very long, 
rounded at the tip; densely, rugulosely punctate, the 
seriately-arranged sete each preceded by a minute smooth 
granule. Legs rather stout, long. 
Length (excl. head) 10, breadth 38 mm. 
Hab. Axsyssinta (dus. Brit.). 
One female, acquired in 1876. Not unlike J. apicalis, 
but broader, with a larger labrum, and stouter, outwardly 
infuseate antenne, the legs (the bases of the femora ex- 
cepted) and apex of the terminal ventral segment black. 
The general system of coloration is like that of J. assimilis, 
Hope, and many other eastern members of the genus, 
most of which have a much smaller labrum. The elytra 
are broader and less parallel, the antennze are stouter, the 
head is smaller, and the apical jomt of the maxillary palpi 
is less elongate, than in J. longipalpis. The antenne are 
not so slender as in the Indian J. assimilis, Hope, from 
which the unusually enlarged, angularly dilated labrum is 
sufficient to distinguish the present species. 
6. Idgia longipalpis, sp. n. 
¢. Elongate, narrow, shining, thickly pubescent, the 
head aud prothorax also set with long, curled, projecting 
or erect, black bristly hairs, the elytra seriato-nigro-setose 
on the dise and strongly ciliate along their outer margin ; 
black” or piceous, the palpi and labrum, the basal four or 
more joints of the antenne, the anterior femora at the base, 
the anterior tibia, the tarsi in part, and the elytra for fully 
two-thirds of their length, testaceous, the prothorax rufescent 
or testaceous along the basal, apical, and outer margins.
