44 Mr. C J. Galian on new Longicorn 



llypargyra similis, sp. n. 



Atra, opaca ; prothoracis lateribus argenteo-sericeo vittatis, disco 

 omnino nudo, creberrime punotato ; elytris viridi-rnetallicis, 

 fortiter ereberrimcque punctatis, ad apicem obtuse rotundatis; 

 metasterno abdomineque iu medio sparse punctatis et setosis, ad 

 latera argenteo-sericeis ; femoribus tibiisque pedum quatuor 

 anticorum et basibus femorum posticorum rufo-testaceis ; antenuis 

 ( c? ) quam corpore paullo longioribus, versus apicem leviter 

 dilatatis. 



Long. 12-15 mm. 



Hal. Samburu, Brit. E. Africa {C. S. Betton). 



Closely allied to 11. cribripennis } but somewhat smaller in 

 size, with ihe disk of the prothorax quite destitute of pubes- 

 cence and the middle of the hind breast and abdomen almost 

 naked, being furnished only with very short scattered seta} 

 arising from the punctures. 



In colour and sculpture this species has considerable 

 resemblance to certain species of Ilelymcms, Thorns., but is 

 easily distinguished by the following characters: — Antennae 

 scarcely dilated towards the apex ; sides of the prothorax 

 very feebly rounded ; apices of the elytra obtusely rounded 

 and not truncate. It is, however, a transitional form, and 

 seems to show that Hypargyra is more nearly allied to 

 BelymcEus than to the genus Junthodes, with which I at first 

 associated it. 



Syndere apicalis, sp. n. 



Nigra, subopaca ; corpore subtus tenniter griseo-sericeo ; elytris 

 tiavo-testaceis, plaga commuui apicali marginem exteriorem hand 

 attingente, nigra; pfothorace disco basiu versus crebre jmnctato, 

 apicem versus minus dense, et lateraliter sparsim punctata ; 

 elytris dense punctatis, apice quadridentatis, dentis exteiioribus 

 longioribus ; antenuis medium elytrorum baud Buperantibus, 

 articulo 3° quam 4° fere duplo longiore, 5°, 4° sequali, ceteris ad 

 10 um gradatim dccrescentibus. 



Long. 7 mm. 



Bab. Samburu, Brit. E. Africa (G. S. Betton). 



Black; elytra yellowish testaceous, with an oblong black 

 patch on each at the apex touching both the apical and sutural 

 border, but not reaching the outer margin. Prothorax longer 

 than broad, slightly rounded in the middle at each side; 

 the disk closely punctured near the base, less closely in 

 iiont, and sparingly towards the sides. Middle tibia? carinate 

 along the antero-ventral edge.
