1885.] INSECTS FROM KILIMA-NJARO. 233 



Bates's collection. The species has somewhat the general build of O. 

 marsyas, 01. ; the head is longer, the clypeus not sinuous at the sides ; 

 the thorax rather flatter above, with a prominent, nearly straight 

 ridge in front above the anterior perpendicular truncature ; the 

 anterior angles are as if truncated ; the base is more angularly 

 produced in the middle of the base ^ the elytra are scarcely narrowed 

 at the base, &c. 



Trichiid^. 

 Calometoptjs (?) PLANATus, n. sp. (Plate XV. fig. 3.) 



Nearly black ; the elytra dark testaceous, with the suture, mar- 

 gins, and a lunate spot near the scutellum smoky black. Antennae 

 and tibiae reddish yellow, the margins of the abdominal segments 

 pale yellow. Head very closely and rather strongly punctured ; the 

 clypeus more finely punctured, a little broader than long, not emar- 

 ginate at the apex, but slightly arcuate, the angles obtuse ; all the 

 margins reflexed. Thorax a very little broader than long, moderately 

 convex, very strongly and rather closely punctured, parallel at the 

 sides to considerably in front of the middle, where it is obliquely 

 narrowed ; the anterior angles nearly right-angles, very slightly 

 prominent; the posterior angles obtusely rounded; the base gently 

 arcuate and margined : on the disk there is a slight impression a 

 little in front of the middle : the sides have the lateral ridge only 

 behind the middle and at the anterior angle ; the slightly swollen 

 under flank is thus not separated from the upper surface of the 

 thorax in front of the middle. Scutellum elongate, triangular, 

 strongly punctured. Elytra twice as broad as the thorax, a little 

 longer than broad ; flat, with the sides nearly perpendicularly de- 

 flexed ; dull, the suture and sublateral ridge shining : each elytron 

 with six somewhat irregular dorsal lines of dark punctures ; the 

 apex closely rugulose. Pygidium closely vermiculate-strigose. Club 

 of the antennae a little longer than all the previous joints taken 

 together. Body beneath and the legs sparingly clothed with yellow 

 hair. Anterior tibiee obtusely tridentate. The posterior tibiae with 

 a triangular tooth a little below the middle ; the edge above this 

 tooth with four or five small teeth. Tarsi long and slender ; claws 

 red. Abdomen shining, not very closely but strongly punctured ; 

 the basal segment yellow in the middle, margined with yellow at the 

 sides. 



Length 12 millim. 



A single example was met with. It is probable that this species 

 may have to be separated from Calometopus on account of the 

 form of the clypeus, which is not emarginate. Never having seen 

 the type of the genus (C senegalensis), I am unable at present to 

 say in what other way it differs.
