5. Idgia ahyssinica, sp. n. 



5 , Elongate, rather narrow, shining, thickly pubescent, 

 and also set with scattered, curled or erect, long black 

 bristly hairs, those on the disc of the elytra seriately 

 arranged, the margins of the latter nigro-ciliate ; fulvo- 

 testaceous, the head (the labrum excepted), joints 5—11 of 

 the antennae, the elytra and abdomen at the tip, and the 

 legs (the bases of tbe femora excepted), black. Head rather 

 small, somewhat produced in front ; labrum broad, trans- 

 verse, large, angularly dilated ; apical joint of maxillary 

 palpi subcultriform ; eyes large, well separated; antennae 

 long, rather slender, joints 5-10 slightly widened, subserrate, 

 7-10 decreasing in length, 11 much longer than 10, hollowed 

 within. Prothorax as long as broad, wider than the head, 

 uneven, sparsely, rugulosely punctate. Elytra very long, 

 rounded at the tip ; densely, rugulosely punctate, the 

 seriately-arranged setse each preceded by a minute smooth 

 granule. Legs rather stout, long. 



Length (excl, head) 10, breadth 3 mm. 

 . Hub. Abyssinia (Mus. Brit.). 



One female, acquired in 1876. Not unlike T. ajjicalis, 

 but broader, with a larger labrurn, and stouter, outwardly 

 infuscate antennae,, the legs (the bases of the femora ex- 

 cepted) and apex of the terminal A^entral segment black. 

 The general system of coloration is like that of /. assimilis, 

 Hope, and many other eastern members of the genus, 

 most of which have a much smaller labrum. The elytra 

 are broader and less parallel, the antennas are stouter, the 

 head is smaller, and the apical joint of the maxillary palpi 

 is less elongate, than in /. longipalpis. The antennae are 

 not so slender as in the Indian 1. assimilis, Hope, from 

 which the unusually enlarged, angularly dilated labrum is 

 sufficient to distinguish the present species. 



6. Idgia longipalpis, sp. n. 



(J. Elongate, narrow, shining, thickly pubescent, the 

 head and prothorax also set with long, curled, projecting 

 or erect, black bristly hairs, the elytra seriato-nigro-setose 

 on the disc and strongly ciliate along their outer margin ; 

 black or piceous, the palpi and labrum, the basal four or 

 more joints of the antennae, the anterior femora at the base, 

 the anterior tibiae, the tarsi in part, and the elytra for fully 

 two-thirds of their length, testaceous, the prothorax rufescent 

 or testaceous along the basal, apical^ and outer margins.
