Mt. Elgon, alt. SSOO-jSOO Pt. (S. A. Neave : vii., x. 1911 : 

 cJ ? ) ; Belgiaa Congo, Kasiudi (Dr. Bayer, in Mus. Congo 

 Beige : 13. iv. 1912 : ? ). 



Three males and three females captured by Dr. Neave 

 and a female by Dr. ]?ayer. A small, bluish-green, hairy 

 insect, Avith uneven, finely punctured elytra, and black legs 

 and antennae, the $ with stout, serrate, taf)ering antennae, 

 and abruptly widened, sinuate intermediate tibia3. Tlie 

 finch- punctured elytra separate H. moUis irom H. rhodesianns 

 and H. hamatus, both of which have different (^-characters. 



54. Hapalochrus armafus, sp. n. 



cJ . Elongate, shining, clothed with long, blackish, semi- 

 erect hairs ; green, bluish-green, or violaceous, the anteniife 

 almost wholly, and the legs entirely, black or metallic ; 

 head and prothorax very sparsely punctate, the latter smooth 

 on the disc. Antennae stout, serrate, moderately long. 

 Prothorax transverse, convex, obliquely narrowed behind. 

 Elytra long, widening to near the apex, somewhat flattened 

 on the disc, more or less depressed or hollowed 'below the 

 base, rounded at apex ; closely, confused h'^, rather coarsely 

 punctate, smoother and diffusedlj'^ punctured at the base. 

 Anterior trochanters produced into a short blunt tooth ; 

 anterior tibiae rather stout, rapidly widened to about tlu; 

 middle, and obliquely compressed beyond this ; anterior 

 tarsal joints 1 and 2 subequal in le gth, slightly thickened, 

 2 extending over 3 ; intermediate femora almost straight ; 

 intermediate tibise moderately inerassate, slightly sinuate, 

 excavate at the middle and apex beneath. 



? . Antennae a little shorter and more slender. 



Length 5, breadth 2i- mm. ((??.) 



Hah. E. Africa, Mlanje in Nyasaland {S. A. Neave : 

 17. iii. 1913). 



One pair. Larger and more robust than H. hamatus and 

 H. rhodesianns, the elytra more closely punctured, the 

 anterior tibiie strongly dilated. The follovi'ing species, 

 //. confnsus, seems to be its nearest ally. 



55. Hapalochrus conjusus, sp. n. 



S . Extremely like //. armahts and differing as follows : 

 the elytra a little more finely punctured, the interspaces 

 more uneven, heie and. there obli(iuely raised ; anterinr 

 trochanters unarmed ; auteiior tibia- feebly, subangularly 

 dilated ; intermediate femora hollowed before the apex
