On new Scolytidas from Africa. 319 



XLIII. — Two new Subspecies of Zebra from Central and 

 East Africa. By W. E. de Winton. 



By the kind permission of Sir William Flower I have been 

 allowed to look through the zebras in the collection of the 

 British Museum, some skins having lately been received which 

 hardly seemed to me to agree with any of the recognized forms ; 

 and I now give a preliminary description of two well-marked 

 local forms of Burchell's zebra. 



Equus Burchelli Granti, subsp. nov. 



General pattern of the stripes as in E. Burchelli Chapnianni, 

 but having far narrower light spaces between the broader 

 dark stripes of the haunches, with no intermediate shadow- 

 stripes. The spots above the nostrils are of much the same 

 colour, but rather lighter than the stripes of the face and 

 body, which are brown or chocolate-colour, varying somewhat 

 in intensity. 



Hab. Masailand. 



Type no. 94. i. 2. 1 in Brit. Mus. Presented by Dr. J. W. 



Equus Burchelli Craws/iaii, subsp. nov. 



General pattern of the stripes as in E. Burchelli Chap- 

 inan?ii, but having the dark stripes upon the haunches of 

 about the same width, or slightly broader than the intervening 

 spaces, with no intermediate shadow-stripes whatever. The 

 spot over the nostrils bright tan-coloured. Stripes of the 

 body almost pure black ; ground-colour varying from nearly 

 pure white to pale fawn. 



Bab. Highlands of Nyasaland west of Lake Nyasa. 



Type no. 95. xii. 12. 1 in Brit. Mus. Presented by 

 R. Crawshay, Esq. 



XL1V. — On the Genus Dactylipalpus, Chapuis, and Two new 

 Genera of Scolytidasjfrwra Africa. By W. F. H. Bland- 

 foed, M.A., F.Z.S. 



The purport of this paper is to describe three distinct and 

 remarkable species of Scolytidse from Africa, of which the 

 types are in my collection. They are referred to two new but 

 not related genera ; and as one of these is very nearly allied 

 to Dactylipalpus, Chap., it has been necessary carefully to 

 examine the structural characters of that genus, hitherto 

 imperfectly known.
