undescribed; the fourth (aethiops Eppelsheim) is known to me only 
from one specimen, without locality data. Rather than base a genus 
on a possible misidentification, I base it on one of the supposedly new 
species from Liberia (see description, p. 86) and list aethiops and the 
other two (undescribed) species as congeneric. 
LIBERIANA, new subgenus 
Genotype.—Pseudolispinodes (Iiberiana) femoralis, new species 
(see p. 86). 
Diagnosis.—Having the characters listed above for the genus 
Pseudolispinodes; pronotum only moderately narrowed behind, about 
one-tenth narrower at base than base of elytra; pronotum with two 
anterior submarginal foveae; elytra and abdominal tergites with a 
row of large punctiform foveae; femora very much enlarged (especially 
the posterior, which is one-fourth as broad as long). 
Remarks.—Two species from Liberia are assigned to this subgenus. 
(One of these is described below, p. 86). They differ from the other 
subgenera in the enlargement of the femora and in the peculiar 
arrangement of the punctiform foveae of the elytra and abdomen. 
RUMEBA, new subgenus 
Genotype.—Pseudolispinodes (Rumeba) lispinoides, new species 
(see p. 87). 
Diagnosis —Having the characters listed above for the genus 
Pseudolispinodes; integuments punctured or sculptured, not entirely 
smooth; pronotum parallel or narrowed only in front. 
Remarks.—This subgenus differs considerably from Pseudolispinodes 
in appearance, principally because of the shape of the pronotum and 
the generally greater convexity of the body. It is represented by a 
single species from Liberia described on page 87. 
NACAEUS, new subgenus 
Genotype.—Pscudolispinodes (Nacaeus) planellus (Sharp). 
Diagnosis.—Having the characters listed above for the genus 
Pseudolispinodes; body very depressed and slender; integuments un- 
usually shining smooth; each elytron with a single large discal puncture. 
Remarks.—This subgenus is distinguished more by its appearance 
than by characters of morphology. It is similar to Pseudolispinodes 
except for the complete lack of sculpture, its narrow depressed form, 
and the rotund shape of the head. It is represented before me by 
two species, of which one is undescribed. P. (N.) planellus (Sharp) 
occurs in Central America, central Africa, Singapore, and the Philip- 
pine Islands. The Oriental specimens were identified as Paralispinus
