404 Mr. G. A. K. Marsliall on neie 



Tijpe. B.M. no. 2. 9. 8. 1. Collected and presented by 

 the Rev. James Henderson, of the Livingstonia Institution. 



Much darker in general tone than either, and with blacker 

 stripes, this species is more or less intermediate in marking 

 between the R. Cirnei of Southern Nyasaland and the 

 R. Reichardti of the Tanganyika plateau. R. Stuhlimnni, 

 Matsch., from the Semliki, has a similar general colour, but 

 has fewer black stripes. 



Mr. Henderson was the discoverer of the striking monkey 

 recently described as Cercopithecus Francescce, and is to be 

 congratulated on this second interesting capture. 



LVII. — On new Species of South-African Carculionidai of 

 theOenus Hipporrhinus, Schbn. By GuY A. K. MARSHALL, 

 F.Z.S. 



The publication of the following descriptions is the result 

 of a careful examination of all the species of Hipporrhinus 

 contained in the British, Stockholm, and Oxford Museums, as 

 well as those in my own collection, and is intended merely as 

 a preliminary to a full revision of this polymorphic genus as 

 soon as I have had access to further expected material. For 

 many of the species here described i am indebted to my good 

 Iriends Dr. H. Brauns, of Willowmore, Gape Golony, and 

 Dr. VValther Horn, of Berlin, who have generously contributed 

 large numbers of South- African Curculionidpe to my collec- 

 tion : most of the Transvaal species were kindly sent i.) me 

 some years ago by Dr. J. W. B. Gunning, of the Pretoria 

 Museum ; others were captured by myself in Natal and 

 Mashonalaiid ; but the majority of the species are from the 

 fine collections of Pascoe and Jekel contained in the British 

 Museum. Wherever possible, examples in the National 

 Collection have been selected as types ; the remainder have 

 been described from my own collection ; but the type speci- 

 mens will shortly be handed ovtM" to the British Museum, in 

 order to render them more accessible to other workers. 1 am 

 indebted to the authorities of that institution for their courtesy 

 in permitting me to take a number of examples from the 

 Museum over to Stockholm, for the purpose of comparison 

 with the types there, which has much facilitated my work. 

 ]\ly thanks are also due to my friends Pruf. Aurivillms and 

 Prof. Sjostedt, who kindly afforded me every assistance in 

 their power during my stay in Stockholm.
