Classification of Ihc Ooleoplcrovs family En(lo)iiychidae. 9 



II ab. Uganda: Buamba Forest, f^emliki Valley, 2,300- 

 2,800 ft. {S. A. Neave, Nov.), Budongo Forest, Unyoro, 

 3,400 ft. {Neave, Dec), Mabira Forest, Chagwe, 3,500-3,800 

 ft. {Neave, July). 



This species entirely resembles T. ovatus, but the extremi- 

 ties of the elytra are dark instead of pale and contain a small 

 bilobed reddish spot. The club of the antenna is very 

 narrow and not percepti})ly broader in the male than in the 

 female, and the latter has a notch at the apex of the abdo- 

 men extending to about the middle of the last segment.

 bus; antennis gracilibus, clava angusta :

Hab. Uganda : Semliki Valley, Buamba Forest, 2,300- 

 2,800 ft. {S. A. Neave, Nov.). 



I have seen only two female specimens. 



It is a shining black species, with a transverse pale yellow 

 zigzag bar crossing each elytron before the middle, and the 

 abdomen, tarsi and last joint of the antennae reddish. It 

 is easily recognisable by its broadly oval and convex elytra,, 

 much wider than the pronotum, mth prominent shoulders 

 and wide reflexed external margins, which are widest just 

 behind the shoulders. The pronotum is broadest at the 

 base, where the angles are slightly produced. Its lateral 

 margins are narrow and the base has a fine and rather in- 

 conspicuous marginal stria. 



This is the only known species of the- genus in which the 

 pattern consists of a single transverse bar only. 



Trycherus attenuatus, sp. n. 



Niger, corpore subtus, jironoti lateribus, clytrorumque apicibus 

 rufis, faseia posthumerali imdulata ad suturam interrupta macu- 

 laque utrinque anteapicali flavis ; angustus, parum nitidus, subtiliter 

 punctatus ; pronoto parvo, lateribus fere parallelis, anguste margin
