APPENDIX. 

 Mecocerus comes, nov. spec. 



cf. Niger, subtiliter griseo pubescens, elytro medio nigro-bi- 

 maculato. 



Hab. Fernand-Vaz, French Congo, IX-X. 1902, one cf- L- Fea. 



Probably a colour variety of M. oculatus Jord. (1895). Grey 

 pubescence less dense , except along the centre of the rostrum , 

 at the apices of the tibiae and on the tarsi. Each elytrum, instead 

 of bearing one large black patch, has two small round black 

 spots side by side, the upper one extending from row II to row 



V and the other from VIII to X. 



The antennae of the. specimen does not reach beyond the apex 

 of the elytrum, and the presternum is devoid of spiniform 

 projections. 



Xyliua.ci.es Fastis, Jord. (1920). 



Described from a Q. L. Fea obtained a pair at Fernand-Vaz, 

 French Congo, which agrees with the type-specimen. The <? has 

 the inner surface of the ninth antennal segment covered with 

 short hair, similar hair being present at the apices of segments 



VI to VIII.
