base, shoulders sloping, sides very gently rounrlcd to and a 

 very little sinuate immediately before apex ; stride fine, 

 intervals hardly raised, densely and more or less confluently 

 punctulate. 



Beneath glabrous, very shiny, with a few shallow remote 

 punctures about the sternal parts. 



The short robust palpi with widened, squarely truncate 

 apices of the terminals places this species with fulvipes, 

 Chd., and simplex, Wied., in Bonelli's group Dinodes. It is, 

 however, very distinct from these species. In size, shape, 

 and also sculpture it is hardly distinguishable from C. bipus- 

 tulatus, Boh., which has also similar palpi and male anterior 

 tarsi. 



The three basal joints of the tarsi are very transverse, the 

 first broadly triangular, second and third quadrate, and each 

 of them of nearly equal length and width. 



Described from a single male example captured by the 

 Rev. J. A. O'Neil, after whom I have the pleasure of 

 naming it. 



Hab. Salisbury, S. Rhodesia. 



Chlanius cavilobrum, sp. n. 



Length 15|-16 mm.; width 6-6^ mm. 

 Briefly pubescent; head and prothorax metallic green, 

 the latter narrowly margined with red, and with the larger 

 portion of the disc in centre and to base suffused with 

 coppery bronze. Legs, labrum, palpi, and three first joints 

 of antennae testaceous yellow, the remaining joints of latter 

 darker and pubescent. Elytra dull aeneous, more or less 

 suffusedly greenish laterally; a yellow marginal band 

 extends from shoulder to apex, occupying the intervals to 

 the eighth stria; below shoulder, for a short distance, it 

 invades the interval, and at a point a little above the coales- 

 cence of the striae posteriorly it is abruptly widened into an 

 elongate patch occupying intervals 7, 6, and 5, and continues 

 gradually attenuated to apex. 



Head : sides and basal part coarsely irregularly punctate 

 with finer punctures intermixed, front and vertex aciculate 

 with a few remote punctures, neck smooth, frontal fovese 

 subobsolete, labrum short, smooth, truncate, with a broad 

 saucer-like depression occupying the middle space ; palpi 

 elongate, cylindrical, the last joint a little shorter than the 

 penultimate, the apices squarely truncated ; antennae long, 

 filiform, setose, hardly compressed, three first joints glabrous, 

 the remainder pubescent. 



Prothorax transverse (4^ mm. x3^ mm.), a little wider at
