■210 ZOOLOGICAL BESULTS OF THE RUWENZOEI EXPEDITION. 



filiform, extending to the apical fourth of the elytra. Sides of the elytra only very 

 slightly expanded downwards near the base. First joint of hind tarsus more than 

 twice as long as the second and third united.

DiTYLODERUS BALTEATUS Auriv. Archiv for Zool. i. p. 316 (1903). 



Mubuku Valley, E. Ruwenzori, 6000-13000 ft. This species occurs also in German 

 East Africa : Itumba in Usagar-a (Eev. A. Wood) and West Usambara (type). 



The specimens from Ruwenzori agree fairly well with the description, but are all 

 smaller than the type described by Aurivillius, being only from 12-13j mm. in length, 

 as compared with the 15 mm. of the type. 



Through an unfortunate slip of the pen, I stated Avhen characterising the genus 

 J)ityloderus that the tarsal claws were divergent. They are, as a matter of fact, quite 

 distinctly divaricate, and the claw-joints are broadly dilated near the end.

Black, faintly covered with grey pubescence ; head, prothorax, and the sides of the 

 body beneath banded, and the elytra banded and spotted with a dense pubescence 

 varying from a pale greenish-white to a buff colour. The head has a median longi- 

 tudinal band on the front, a narrow transverse band above, and a short band or spot 

 below the anterior part of each eye ; the upper band is sometimes interrupted at each
