74 Eev. H. S. Gorhara on neiv Coleoptera 



T. zaharce, Clievr. {I. c. pp.16, 51 ; Rev. Zool. 1861, p. 152), 

 I liave not seen. The Egyptian and North- African species 

 of" Trichfldcs are at present ill detined *. 



Three examples of T. tuyelanus were obtained by 

 Mr. Marshall. 



DOLICHOPSIS, Gorh. 



iJulichojysis, Gorli. Trans. Eiit. Soc. 1877, p. 154. 



Dolidiopsis was proposed by nie for two species of very 

 Dasytid appearance, but pertaining to the Necrobiides, from 

 tlie Cape Colony. Of each species I have since then ob- 

 tained fresh examples, but without more precise locality. 



Dolicliopsis auro?iitens, sp, n. 



Siibcylindricus, Isetc viridi-aiironitcns, longius griseo-pubescens ; 

 capite prothoraccque subtiliter creberrime punctatis ; elytris 

 creberrime et coiifluenter fortiter punctatis ; aiitcnnis pedibusque 

 iestaceis. 



Long, 5-7'5 millim. 



Bab. Natal, 6576, 6677, 6718 {Marshall). 



The larger of three examples before me is rather smaller 

 than the larger examples of D. haplocneniodes ; the head and 

 thorax are more finely and the elytra more coarsely punctate. 

 It is also more cylindrical. The legs and antennas are testa- 

 ceous, the claws and the extreme tip of the latter infuscate. 

 The colour varies a little from grass-green with a pale 

 golden reflection to brassy. Being more convex, it is even 

 more like the species of the Melyrid genus Haplocnemus than 

 the type. The pile is very long and thick in fresh specimens. 



Three examples. 



Corynetes analis, Klug. 



Curynetcs mialis, Klug, Men. Oler., Abhand. Bevl. Akad. 1842, p. 348 f. 

 Corynetes 2Mllicor7iis, Spin. Mou. ii. p. 95, tab. xliii. fig. 3 [cmalis'].

The identification of this with Corynetes abdominal is, Fabr. 

 Syst. Ent. i. p. 286, is an error, that insect being from 

 " India," and also having the whole abdomen jjale ; and no 

 doubt Fabricius's description refers to some wholly different 

 insect at present unidentified. 



The records from Senegal need, I think, confirmation.
