4 broken into points before the base, 5 short and apical, 

 with a single point as a basal appendage, sutaral stria apical 

 and dimidiate, close to the suture at the apex, but maricedly 

 divergent in its course (like that of P. 4:- pu net alas, Mars. 

 Mon. pi. xiv. fig. 4), internal humeral short and apical, inter- 

 stices very finely punctulate on the disk, but the points 

 increase in size towards the apex ; the propygidium and 

 pygidium are somewhat densely and finely punctured, before 

 the apex of the latter is a transverse impression (perhaps not 

 a permanent character) ; the prosternum evenly punctate, 

 bistriate, striaj joining anteriorly and widening out behind ; 

 the mesosternum also punctate and robustly produced ante- 

 riorly, marginal stria complete, transverse stria straight, 

 wide, and shallow, with crenulate edges; the anterior tibii« 

 spinous. 



This species belongs to the same section of the genus as 

 P. circulifrons, Mars., hreviusculus, Mars., and nitidus, Lew., 

 but it may be known at once by its oblique sutural stria3 and 

 punctured sternal plates. F. nitidus^ Lew., is the least 

 convex species of the three mentioned. 



Hab. Cameroon. 



Anaglymma impar. 

 Fhelister impar, Mars. Bull. Soc. Eut. Fr. (6) ix. p. cxxvii (1889). 



This species belongs to the genus Anagli/mma, and it 

 resembles A. congonis, Lew,, in having the fifth and sutural 

 dorsal striee formed of single, not double lines. 



Ilab. Zanzibai*. 



Trypeticus planisternus ^ sp. n. 



Cyliudricus, brunneo^piceiis, nitidus ; capita vertice minute foveo- 

 lato, rostro basi in medio elevato, utrinque depresso ; prosterno 

 piano hand striate ; mesosteriio utrinque sulcato ; pygidio con- 

 vexo, punctate. 



L. 4 mill. 



Cylindrical, pitchy brown, shining; the head with a 

 small but distinct fovea on its vertex, a frontal ridge separates 

 the feebly convex vertex from the face, a robust median 

 ridge forms the base of the rostrum, with a corresponding 

 excavation on either side of it, the apex of the rostrum is 

 short and obtuse, with a median sulcus before the tip, region 

 of the sulcus depressed ; the thorax not closely punctured, 

 punctures largest and closest at and near the anterior angles, 

 with a faint longitudinal ridge behind the middle of the neck ; 

 the elytra, punctuation distinctly finer than that of the thorax ;
