Hab. Dikoya. 



rufous 



* 



pure yellow patch (but slightly interrupted towards the 

 middle) on each elytron, a short distance from and parallel 

 with the suture ; head elongate obconic, depressed between the 

 eyes ; antennas as long as the head and prothof ax together in the 

 male, much shorter in the female ; prothorax impunctate ; 

 scutellum large, very transverse ; elytra striate-punctate, punc- 

 tures large, approximate ; body beneath dark chestnut ; meso- 

 and metasternal epimera covered with a silky straw-coloured 

 pubescence ; legs varying from rufous to brownish. 



About the size and contour o£A. Dohrnii, Jek., but at once 

 distinguished from its congeners by the large yellow oblong 

 patches on the elytra. 



Rhynchites clavatus. 



R. nigrescens, elytris fusco-aeneis ; rostro longitudine capitis cum 

 prothorace ; clava antennarum laxe elongata, funiculo articulis 

 quinque basalibus testaceis, apice paulo iufuscatis. Long. 1| lin. 



. Hab. Dikoya. 



Minutely pubescent, blackish ;, elytra dark brassy brown ; 

 rostrum slender, as long as the head and prothorax* together; 

 antennae with the five basal joints of the funicle testaceous, 

 but a little darker at the apex, the club loosely elongate, and, 

 with the last two joints o£ the funicle, blackish j prothorax 

 longer than broad, minutely and closely punctured ; elytra 

 short, striate-punctate, punctures moderately approximate, in- 

 terstices flattish ; body beneath and legs dark steel-blue, coxae 

 fulvous. 



This species is similar to our R. ceneovirens, but is much 

 smaller, and has the club of the antennae differently formed. 



Eugnamptus marginatus. 



E. testaceus, scutello, elytrorum sutura marginibusque nigrescenti- 

 bus ; femoribus, apice excepto, testaceis, hoc, tibiis, tarsis, anten- 

 nis rostroque nigris. Long. 2^- lin. (rost. inch).

 apex, this, with the tibiae, tarsi, and antennae being dull black, 

 the latter pubescent ; rostrum glossy black, except a little tes- 



taceous at the base ; prothorax longer than broad, inclining 



to luteous, and but slightly pubescent ; scutellum subquadrate ; 

 elytia somewhat depressed, the sides parallel, striate-punctate,
