144 Mr. W. F. Kirby on the Family Hetrodidse. 



abdomen is bronzed, carinated, with a strong median tooth 

 on the second segment only, but with lateral teeth also on the 

 second and third segments. The valves of the ovipositor are 

 armed with fewer and larger teeth than in the last species. 

 The face is yellow, the mandibles tipped with black, and 

 the legs are mostly testaceous, especially beneath. The 

 femora are unarmed, the front coxse are spined; the front 

 tibia? are unarmed above and armed with two rows of 7 or 8 

 spines below, not extending to the base ; the middle tibiae are 

 armed with 2 spines on the outer carina above and with 7 

 on each side below ; and the hind tibise are armed with double 

 rows of about 8 spines each both above and below.

Genus Enyaliopsis, Karsch. 



This genus includes several closely-allied forms from East 

 Africa and Angola. E. Petersii, Schaum, and E. Durandi, 

 Luc, may perhaps be distinguished by the shape of the 

 lateral prominence at the front angles of the pronotum, which 

 is long and broadly bifid in E. Petersii, but shorter, broad 

 and convex, with a short tooth on each side in E. Durandi. 

 But it is doubtful how far this character will remain constant 

 in a large series of specimens. I think E. Bloyeti, Lucas, is 

 the same as E. Petersti, but am more doubtful about 

 E. obuncus, Bol. 



Genus Anepisceptus, Fieb. 



The insect which I identify with Hetrodes Servillei, Reiche 

 and Fairmaire, is common in Somaliland, and greatly resembles 

 Eugaster Eevoilii, Lucas, except in its smaller size. E. Ser- 

 vi/tei, Lucas, differs entirely in the arrangement of its spines, 

 and 1 propose to rename it Anepisceptus hippolyti. 



Eugaster suakimensis, Kirb., should be referred to Anepi- 

 sceptus. 



Genus Eugaster, Serville. 



I cannot identify the species which Dr. Karsch briefly 

 describes as Eugaster spinulosus in Berl. ent. Zeitschr. xxxii. 

 p. 463 (1888), especially as no locality is given. 



Genus ACANTHOPROCTUS, Karsch. 



Hetrodes fortis, Walk., is evidently synonymous with 

 H. cervinus, De Haan. Of H. miliiaris, White, I have only 

 two damaged specimens before me, but think it will prove to
