Genus Phoscopun, iu)V. 



/AW about as lou}? as its width hctwccn the eyes, with a 

 central luirow that almost reaches the vertex ; eyes lateral, 

 j)r()iiiiiieiit, semicireuhir. Rostrum about as loii}; as the 

 iicad. narrowed in front, separattnl from the forehead by a 

 (h'l'j) fnrrow that ri-aehes the sides ; epistome short, well 

 dctlncd, bnt the sidi-s not earinate, the front niari^iii 

 shallow ly sinuate; mandibles s(iuamose (setie abraded), 

 without any longitudinal dorsal carina, but with an obtuse 

 medinu tooth, the scar indistinct and subtrian^nlar; mentum 

 bare, nineh wider in front than behind and rather dce|)ly 

 sunk in its cavity, which is more oblong than usu.d, the 

 basal anj^les being almost right angles; ser(jbes lateral, 

 curved, and sciuamose, becoming markedly wider and 

 shallower behind, the upper edge below the lower margin of 

 the eye. Antenn<e with the scape rather stout, cylindrical, 

 and gradually widening from near the base ; funiele stout, 

 scpiamose, the two basal jcjints of c(jual length, the remainder 

 bead-like and subequal. Frothorax transverse, truncate at 

 base antl apex. Scutellum minute. Elytra subtruncate at 

 the base, not eonstrieted or marginate, without any humeral 

 ])rominencc, the apices jointly rounded. Sternum with the 

 gulitr margin truncate, the coxx' in the middle of the pro- 

 sternum : mesosternum longer than usual, the episternum 

 meeting the elytron at the l)asc; metastcrnum between the 

 coxae as long as the niid-coxie, with a very shallow ante- 

 coxal fold, tlic episternum not angularly produced internally 

 at the base, the episternal suture almost obliterated, the 

 hind coxie narrowly separated from the elytra. I'enter 

 with the intereoxal process slightly angulate and broader 

 than the hind coxie ; segment 2 longer than .'3. Lf^.v rather 

 slender ; corbels of the hind tibiieo])en, bare, and terminal ; 

 claws connate. 



(^ unknown. 



(ienotype, Proscopus viaryinatus, sp. n. 



The elongate metastcrnum is (piite unusual in the African 

 members of this group, and the general faeies of the only 

 known s|)ecies is more like that of a Tanvmecine of the 

 genus Iphisomus. 



Proscopus marginatus, sp. n. (PI, I. fig. 4.) 



? . Black, with ratlier thin grey scaling (through which 

 the shiny intcfiument is cliarly visible) and a few whitish
