This specimen, which is in the British Museum, is 

 apparently allied to ArcMdux adolfi, Burr ; it differs in the 

 shorter and broad pronotum, abbreviated elytra, smooth 

 head, with the sutures indiscernible ; the quite straight 

 parallel forceps, with the long erect slender spine near the 

 apex are very characteristic. 



It is dedicated to Mr. S. A. Neave, who has obtained much 

 interesting material from Equatorial Africa for the Imperial 

 Bureau of Entomology.
