924 MR. G. A. K. MARSHALL ON [Dec. 11, 



intei-coxal process bi'oad and truncate, segment 2 as long as 3 and 4 

 together and separated from 1 by a perfectly straight incision. 



Type, Z. Mrta, sp. nov. 



This genus is evidently very closely allied to Goniorhinus Fst.. 

 (Deut. ent. Zeit. 1889, p. 143), from the Tiunsvaal, with which 

 I am not acquainted. Dr. K. M. Heller has, however, very 

 kindly compared my specimens with Faust's type and considers 

 them to be generically distinct, on the grounds that in Gonio- 

 rhinus the eyes are approximated and the apical margin of the 

 prothorax is vertically truncate. A further diflference is to be 

 found in the corbels of the posterior tibiae, whicli are stated by 

 Faust to be open and truncate. The species of this genus exhibit- 

 a close affinity to Sympiezoi-rJiynchiis, with which at first I pio- 

 visionally associated them ; they may, however, be discriminated 

 superficially by their long erect seta? and the longer arid more 

 slender rostrum. 



Zeugorygma hirta, sp. nov. 



Long. 3i-3f, lat. l-i-2 mm. 



Colour black, with dull green scaling, the suture dull pink ; the 

 lateral margins and underparts pale with a metallic pink or golden 

 reflection ; body set with very long erect seta?. 



Head subglobose, with dense scaling and a tuft of erect setse 

 above the eye, forehead with a central fovea. Iiostrum elongate, 

 a little longei- than the head and prothorax, subcylindrical and 

 distinctly curved ; scrobes in the form of two deep oval fossa? on 

 the upper surface, separated by a narrow carina, evanescent 

 posteriorly, but continued to apex in the form of an extremely fine 

 line ; scaling rather sparse laterally but dense above, with short 

 erect setse on the basal half, which give the base an elevated 

 appearance. Antennce piceous, with pale scaling ; funicle with 

 joints 3 and 4 subequal in length. Prothorax transverse, bi'oadest 

 at base, which is gently curved, apex much narrower and con- 

 stricted, the margin slightly lobate dorsally, sides modeiutely 

 rounded ; upper surface convex, densely squamose, with a faint 

 central furrow and a row of erect setfe on each side of it. Elytra 

 ovate, sides gently I'ounded, broadest about middle ; upper surface 

 convex, with fine punctured stria? ; the intei'vals almost plane, with 

 dense scaling and with single rows of remote, very long pale seta? 

 on each interval excej)t 4 and 6, which occasionally bear a few 

 short setae. Legs piceous, with dense pale opalescent scaling.

Type in the British Museum. 



Zeugorygma orangi^, sp. nov. 



Long. 3-4^, lat. U-U mm. 



The description of Z. hirta applies entirely to this species, 

 except in the following particulars : — The rostral sci^obes are 

 continued backwards from the fossa, and even when hidden by 

 the scaling their uppei- edge may be seen in the form of a narrow
