Agkilus continuatus, sp. n. (Plate VII. fig. 8.) 



Very dark bronzy-green above, dull, brownish coppery and shining beneath. Head 

 flat in front, obscure coppery, finely rugose, with two dark rounded rugose spots 

 above, and a cordiform impression below. Thorax transversely finely rugulose, with a 

 strongly marked longitudinal median impression, this impression and the sides clothed 

 with dull yellow pubescence. Above the posterior angle there is an arcuate coppery 

 carina. Elytra gradually narrowed to the apex, where the margins are finely 

 denticulate, closely granulate, and dull ; the sutural area impressed, leaving the region 

 of the scutellum convex, the suture itself slightly raised; each elytron with a well- 

 marked smooth, slightly coppery carina, extending from the shoulder to near the 

 apex ; the space between this carina and the suture filled with dark golden-yellow 

 pubescence forming a longitudinal stripe. Upper lateral margin of the abdomen 

 clothed with dull golden pubescence, not interrupted at the apices of the segments. 

 Abdomen shining, distinctly but not very closely punctured, with a spot of yellow 

 pubescence on each side of the basal segment ; apical segment with the margin 

 thickened and finely denticulate. Sides of the metasternum and episterna densely 

 clothed with yellow pubescence. 



Mokia, S.E. Euwenzori, 3400 ft. 



This species in every way closely resembles A. ciqmventris L. & G., but the yellow 

 pubescence on the upper margin of the abdomen is continuous, and not broken up 

 into spots as in that species ; the apices of the elytra are not separately produced into 

 slight points as in A. cu])riventris.
