and Asiatic Species of ^aiialodnns. 307 



Antei'ior tibiic sinuate, compressed before the tip ; anterior 

 tarsal joints 1 and 2 slightly thickened, 2 extending over 3 ; 

 intermediate tibise moderately thickened, sinuate externally, 

 without lobe at the inner apical angle, excavate at the middle 

 and apex beneath. 



Length 3^, breadth 1| mm. 



Hab. W. Ct'NTRAL Africa, Nyangwe, Belgian Congo 

 (R. Mayne: iii.-iv. 1918). 



One male. This species agrees with H. testaceicoi'/iis, 

 dilaticornis, &c., in having a tinely rugulose, opaque, blue 

 head ; but it differs from them in the basally unarmed 

 anterior femora, the simply sinuate, feebly incrassate, non- 

 appeudiculate intermediate tibire, and the undiluted antennse 

 (which are formed as in the ? of the insects mentioned), 

 of the c? . H. inchoatus, found at the same date at 

 Nyangwe, has a shining, more distinctly punctured head. 

 H. angulatus, from the Aberdare Mts., is perhaps the nearest 

 allied form to H. cyanocephulus, the latter having the elytra 

 less dilated posteriorly and more densely and not so coarsely 

 punctate, and the intermediate tibise of ($ less augulate 

 externally. 



49. Hapalochrus rhodesianus, sp. n. 



(^ . IModerately elongate, shining, sparsely clothed with 

 fine pubescence intermixed numerous loug, erect, fuscous 

 hairs ; blue or bluish-green, the head and prothorax some- 

 times brassy-cupreous, the autenuce. ])alpi, and legs black or 

 metallic. Head short, slightly depressed in trout, sparsely 

 punctate ; antenmc rather short, broad, serrate, joints 5-9 

 strongly transverse. Prothorax much broader than long, 

 a little wider than the head, very sparsely punctate, smooth 

 and feebly canaliculate on the middle of the disc. Elytra 

 widened posteriorly, depressed on the disc below the base, 

 coarsely, closely punctate, the puncturing becoming a little 

 sparser anteriorly. Anterior trochanters with a curved, 

 hook-like tooth ; anterior femora with two or three setai at 

 the base ; anterior tibise sinuate, compressed towards the 

 apex ; anterior tarsal joints 1 and 2 slightly thickened, 

 2 extending over 3 ; intermediate tibiae moderately and 

 abruptly widened from a little below the base to near the 

 tip, excavate at the apex beneath. 



? . Antennse much more slender, feebly serrate. 



Length 3|-5, breadth 1^-2 mm. (c5^ ? .) 



Hab. E. AriiiCA, JSlwengwa in N.W. Khodcsia (//. C. 

 Dollnian : xii. 1913 and i. 1911).
