from Malachius. In Abeille de Perrin’s table of the 
“Malachiaires ”’ the present genus works out near Antho- 
comus, from which it differs in the broadly truncate epistoma, 
the peculiar form of the anterior tibiz, the villose body, 
simple elytra in g, &e. Malachius cerulescens, Boh., from 
Boschjesmanns Rand, is probably a 2 of Hapalochrus

near H, nitens, Gorh.

Since the publication of the revision of the African species 
of Hedybius and its allies (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., Nov. 
1921), an interesting new form taken at Nairobi has been 
sent me by Mr. Gedye*. 
Hedybius ruficornis, sp. n. 
3d. Elongate, widened posteriorly, shining, clothed with 
pallid pubescence, which on the elytra is intermixed with 
bristly, longer, erect hairs, the prothorax with very long aud 
soft hairs ; metallic green, the head (except a curved black 
fascia at the base, which extends forward on each side to the
