204 ZOOLOGICAL EESULTS OF THE RUWENZORI EXPEDITION. 



from the base up to about one-third of their length from the apex, then narrowed ; 

 rounded at the apex ; each furnished with four rather feebly raised costee, interstices 

 subreticulate punctate ; the surface covered with a very short reddish pubescence. 

 Forceps of male not mucronate, curved and somewhat blunt at the apex. 



Length 13 mm. ; breadth at base of elytra 3, at one-third from apex 4| mm. 



Hal. Mubuku Valley, E. Euwenzori, 5000-7000 ft. One male example. 



Xylobanus sp. 



Sides of the prothorax, the whole of the elytra, and the last joint of the antennae 

 yellow ; all the remaining parts black. In general form and structure this species 

 agrees pretty closely with X. sulcicollis Murray, of which it is probably only a variety. 



Length 10 ; breadth at base of elytra 2, at middle 3 mm. 



Hah. Euwenzori, 6000-8000 ft. {G. F. Scott Mliot). One female specimen. 



Metriorehynchus sp. 



A species apparently closely allied to Metriorrhynclms semiflahellatus Murray, but 

 differing from it in having the elytra entirely yellow, the prothorax somewhat narrower 

 and not very distinctly carinate above. 



Eah. Mubuku Valley, E. Euwenzori, 6000-7000 ft. One male example.

Melyris monticola, sp. n. (Plate VI. fig. 6.) 



Green and almost glabrous ; antennae, palpi, and tarsi black or brownish-black ; 

 femora of all the legs and the coxae of the anterior two pairs yellow; tibiee green. 

 Metasternum and abdomen with a somewhat brassy lustre. Head and prothorax 

 reticulate-punctate, the punctures ocellate. Prothorax marked with a short groove 

 alono- the middle of the disc, carinate near each side, the carina somewhat sinuate. 

 Elytra broader than the prothorax, parallel-sided, more than twice as long as their
