220 Mr. L. P^nnguey on new Coleoptera. 



somewhat linear and narrow, with the humeral serration but 

 little developed, and with the dorsal part strongly declivous 

 from near the base to the apex, covered with small but acute 

 slightly setigerous tubercles, not set so closely as in M. tuber - 

 culata or in M. latipenms, and without any erect bristles 

 posteriorly ; each elytron with a small raised line nearly in 

 the centre. 



A truly distinct species, easily recognized by the sublinear 

 form of the elytra, as well as by the great declivity of the 

 posterior part of the disk. The legs and underside as in 31. 

 tuberculafa. 



One male from Congo in the British Museum. I at first 

 doubted the habitat of this insect. I have, however, seen 

 another example, also a male, in Mr. H. W. Bates's collection 

 from the same locality. 



Ophryodera Bohemani, 



Obscure cuprea, capite prothoraceque albo-pubescentibus ; elytria 

 insequaliter punctulatis, fascia flavescente lata sinuataque a basi 

 intra apicem ducta lunula mediana alteraque triangula subapicali 

 includente, ilia cum euturam conjuncta in singulo ornatis. 



Long. 21 , lat. 7 mm. 



A very distinct species. Head and prothorax as in 0. rufo- 

 marginata ; elytra with a very broad golden-yellow sinuated 

 band, disconnected from the margin and the suture, narrowed 

 on the median part, where it encloses a small rounded spot 

 (background), enlarged from past the middle, narrowed 

 towards the apex, and forming within the subapical sutural 

 part a dent which leaves an irregular triangular patch of the 

 background visible. 



Legs and underside as in G. rufomarginata. 



This splendid insect (a female) comes from Angola. 



Ophryodera rufo-marginata, Bohem., var. Bradshawi. 



Obscure cuprea, capite prothoraceque albo-pubescentibus ; elytria 

 sutura, linea subbumerali introrsum ducta, puncto in medio 

 fasciaque marginali intra apicem albis. 



Long. 20, lat. 7 mm. 



The markings of this insect vary very much according to 

 localities. The present variety is, however, well separated 

 from Boheman's type ; it is larger and of deeper bronze colour ; 

 the elytra have lost the large triangular antemedian lunule, 

 and there is only left a slightly curved line starting from the
