black, bristly hairs ; testaceous, the margins of the pro- 
thorax and the elytra whitish, the latter with a basal and 
subapical fascia nigro-violaceous ; the head and prothorax 
almost smooth, the elytra finely punctured and sometimes 
(in immature specimens) with two raised lines on the disc. 
Head narrower than the prothorax ; antenne short, rather 
slender, feebly serrate. Prothorax broad, transverse, rounded 
at the sides, the margins dilated posteriorly. Elytra a little 
wider than the prothorax. Posterior tibize feebly curved. 
¢. Antenne longer and more strongly serrate; anterior 
tarsal joint 2 projecting over the base of 3, nigro-pectinate 
along the apical margin; posterior tibiz curved, arcuately 
dilated at the base within, and nigro-maculate at the apex ; 
elytra subparallel, the apices excavate and strongly angulato- 
appendiculate, as in the same sex of KH. bicaudatus. 
Var. 1. Narrower, the basal half of the head, the front of 
the prothorax (owing to the covered base of the head showing 
through the transparent chitin), and two coalescent triangular 
spots on the disc at the base, black; the other characters 
(S 2?) asin the type. [Rhodesia.] 
Var. 2. The base of the head to a variable extent black, 
the metallic basal fascia of the elytra hollowed behind, the 
subapical one somewhat curved, narrow or incomplete ; the 
other characters (¢ ¢) as in the type. [Rhodesia and

agreeing in structure. . maculipes is the eastern repre- 
sentative of EH. bicaudatus, Thoms. (= bizonatus, Ab.), 
differing from it in the shape of the posterior tibie of the ¢; 
the elytral appendages are similarly shaped in the two 
species.
