 Euprcstidffi, icith Descriptions of new Species. By Chas. 

 O. Waterhouse, F.E.S. 



[Continued from vol. xiv. p. 348.] 

 Ag(B0C€ra Fenyesi, Kerr. 



The type of this species is a rather small example of 

 A. gentilis, Horn. The specimen labelled A. yentilis in 

 Capt. Kerremans' collection is A. giyas. 



Hypoprasis magnifica, Phil. 



Capt. Kerremans gives this as a synonym of H. hurpogo, 

 Fairm. (^Vytsman's ' Genera/ p. 67). I have not been able to 

 see the description of this species, but the specimens 

 received by the Museum with this name differ from 

 H. harpago, Fairm., in having the sides of the thorax coppery, 

 and the posterior angles more rugosely punctured. The 

 elytra are less acuminate. I think it is a distinct species. 



Halecia soror, sp. u. 



Fusco- seneous, shining. Head concave in front, and 

 deeply longitudinally canaliculate; the clypeus coppery.
