310 Mr. (t. C. Clianipion on various African 



troolianters with a short blunt tootli ; anterior tibise simply 

 sinuate, without median dilatation ; anterior tarsal joints 

 1 and 2 thickened, 2 projecting over 3 ; intermediate femora 

 hollowed before the apex beneath, appearing subangulate at 

 the middle ; intermediate tibise slightly sinuate and feebly, 

 abruptly incrassate from near the base to the tip, the 

 lower surface foveate at the middle and hollowed at the apex. 



Length 5, breadth 2^ mm, 



Hab. W. Central Africa, Amadi, Belgian Congo [P. van 

 den Plas : iv. 1913). 



One male, in the Congo Museum. More elongate than 

 H. irregularis (cJ), the antennte much shorter, tlie pro- 

 thorax less transverse, the elytra more coarsely punctured, 

 the anterior tibise simply sinuate, the intermediate tibiae 

 feebly, abruptly widened from near the base, as in the same 

 sex of the Rhodesian //. hamaius. Compared with the last- 

 named insect, the ^ of the present species may be distin- 

 guished by the stouter anterior tibise, the subserrate antenna?, 

 and the closely, coarsely punctate elytra. The simply sinnate 

 anterior tibiae, the subangulate intermediate femora, and tlie 

 more coarsely punctured elytra separate //. amadiensis from 

 U. confusus, cJ, an insect with similar intermediate tibiae. 



53. Hapalochrus mollis, sp. n. 



cJ . Elongate, shining, thickly clothed with long, fine, 

 erect hairs ; bluish-green or green, the head and prothornx 

 sometimes brassy or the elytra cyaneous, the antennae, palpi, 

 and legs wholly black or metallic ; ht ad and prothorax 

 sparsely punctulate, the latter smooth on tlie disc. Antennae 

 stout, serrate, tapering towards the tip, joints 6-9 strongly 

 transverse. Prothorax transverse, small, obliquely narrowed 

 behind. Elytra long, widened posteriorly, uneven, depressed 

 on the disc below the base ; closely, finely punctate, the 

 interspaces here and there obliquely plicate. Anterior tibiae 

 thickened at a little beyond the middle and hollowed thence 

 to the apex ; anterior tarsal joints 1 and 2 slightly 

 thickened, subequal in length, 2 extending over 3; inter- 

 mediate tibiae rather broadly, abruptly, and equally widened 

 from near the base to the apex, distinctly sinuate externally, 

 truncate at the tip. 



$ . Antennae shorter and not so stout, feebly serrate.
