6. MENIUS VIRIDIHNEUS, sp. NOY. 
Ovate, convex, dark greenish eeneous. Antenne and the legs 
obscure fulvous ; thorax deeply but not closely punctured ; elytra 
very deeply and regularly punctate-striate, the interstices convex 
anteriorly. 
Length 2 lines. 
Had. Cameroons (the plains.) 
Front of head rather swollen, obsoletely and finely punctured, 
with a distinct but short longitudinal groove between the eyes, the 
latter with a distinct, posteriorly widened groove at their inner 
margin. Clypeus separated by a triangular impressed line from the 
face. Labrum fulvous. Antenne half the length of the body, fili- 
form, entirely fulvous, or with the apical joints piceous. Thorax 
about twice as broad as long, distinctly narrowed from the base to 
the apex, its sides but little rounded, surface impressed with deep 
but rather remotely placed punctures. Scutellum subtriangular, its 
apex acute. Elytra slightly wider at the base than the thorax, con- 
vex, regularly and deeply punctate-striate near the base, much more 
finely towards the apex; below the shoulder several striz are united 
at their ends and their commencement and are only half the length 
of the rest ; interstices impunctate, subcostate near the base, but 
flat posteriorly. Femora with a short acute tooth. 
Collected by Mr. Rutherford. Coilection Jacoby. 
This species is allied to M. costatus, Baly, but is larger, differently 
shaped, the thorax much more strongly punctured, and the elytra 
are devoid of the strongly raised costee near the lateral margin.

suleate from the base to the apex, rest of the surface irregularly 
covered with rather fine punctures, pubescent like the head. Seu- 
tellum smooth. Elytra foveolate-punctate, the punctures near the 
base arranged in irregular double rows, the rest confusedly distributed,
