new Species of Histeride. 425 
Mister sulcipygus, Lew. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, 
ill. p. 282 (1889).—A second specimen of this very distinct 
species has been brought home from the south of Abyssinia 
by Herr Oscar Neumann and it is now in the Berlin Museum. 
There are no sulci in the pygidium, and therefore it is likely 
(unless they have relation to the sexes) that the sulci I 
described are abnormal. 
Fister ealegis, sp. n. 
Oblongus, subquadratus, parum convexus, niger, nitidus, supra 
undique punctulatus; stria frontali integra; pronoto striis 
lateribus integris; elytris striis 1-3 integris, 4 et suturali 
brevibus ; propygidio pygidioque punctulatis ; tibiis anticis 
obtuse 4-dentatis. 
L. 82 mill. 
Oblong, somewhat quadrate, rather convex, black and 
shining, wholly punctulate above ; the forehead, stria com- 
plete, somewhat fine and nearly straight anteriorly; the 
thorax, lateral strie both complete, not deeply impressed, 
inner stria continued behind the head ; the elytra, strie 1-3 
complete, shallow but relatively a little wide, 4 discal and 
vague, sutural apical and bent, inner humeral dimidiate 
and not joining the oblique basal stria, there is no outer 
humeral; the pygidia are finely and evenly punctured; the 
prosternum, anterior lobe marginate ; the mesosternum emar- 
ginate anteriorly with a complete marginal stria, all the 
sternal plates are very finely punctulate; the anterior tibiz 
have 4 obtuse teeth, tooth nearest the base inconspicuous, and 
the under surfaces are rugosely punctured ; the other tibiz 
are multispinose. 
The surface-sculpture and the elytral stria somewhat 
resemble those of H/. semigranosus, Mars., but the latter is 
an Opaque species. 
Hab. Abyssinia.
