males in all. It is recognizable amongst the allied forms 

 by its small size, reddish prothorax, and the nigro-macuiate 

 one or two basal joints of ti>e antennae; the ^ with the 

 inter-ocular excavation bifoveate and bearing a tuft of erect 

 black hairs, and the anterior tarsi quite simple. 



Paired examples from Mwengwa are contained in 

 Dollman's collection. 



In one ? from Bulawayo the prothorax has an oblong 

 blackish patch on the disc. 



6. Hedyhius lividus. 



Iledyhius lividus, Gorh. Ann. Mus. Geneva, xviii. p. 598 (J $ ) (1883). 



c? . " Capite fronte lanaelli duplici dentiformi approximata; epi- 

 storaate retrorsumin cornu duo producto, antennis articulis tertio 

 ad sextum serratis intus nigro acuminatis." 



Hab. Abyssinia [Mus. Genoa; I\fus. Brit.). 



A ? captured by Raffray is contained in the British 

 Museum. It is narrower than H. albipennis, Gorh. ( ? ) ; 

 the prothorax is more angulate laterally and the erect inter- 

 mixed hairs on the elytra are soft, fine, and wholly pale. 

 Dr. Gestro lent me a (5" of it some time ago, but this 

 specimen is not available now for study. The anterior tarsi 

 in this and the following species are probably simple in the 

 two sexes, as in H.formosus ; their structure was not noted 

 by Gorham. 



7. Hedyhius albipennis. 



Hedyhius olbipennis, Gorh. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) vli. p. 360 

 (c?$)(1901). 



J. "Antennis sesquilongioribus, ad apicem magis infuscatis ; 

 capitis vertice lamina transversa irregnlari utriuque subinvoluta, 

 oocipite ab oculis fortiter excavato, in medio quasi bicarinato, 

 postice elevato piano." 



Hab. S. Africa, Salisbury [type] and Bulawayo, Rhodesia 

 (Dr. G. A. K. Marshall), Kashitu, north of Broken Hill, 

 N.W. Rhodesia {H. C. Dollman: 26. iv. 1915). 



A robust, broad, testaceous insect, with whitish elytra, 

 the abundant pubescence on the latter intermixed with 

 long, scattered, erect, black setse, a character separating 

 H. albipennis from the very closely allied Abyssinian 

 H. lividus. Eighteen specimens are before me, all ? ? ; 

 the c?-type was retained by the author, and it has pre- 

 sumably passed into the collection of M. Pic.
