M. murrayi, but is less convex on the disc, and has the anterior and posterior grooves 

 less strongly marked.

Euwenzori, 7000-8000 ft. {G. F. Scott Elliot). One female specimen. 



P. hirsuta was described from examples taken at Umfuli River in Mashonaland, and 

 as there are no females from that locality available for comparison, it is with some 

 doubt that I refer the specimen from Ruwenzori to this species. In this specimen 

 the head and prothorax are darker and less pubescent than in the male type, the 

 abdomen also is darker, and the legs are almost entirely black. The pygidium of the 

 female is much larger, and especially longer, than that of the male, and the last 

 ventral segment has a deep transversely oval pit or depression at the apex. 



The species seems to me not altogether well-placed by Jacoby in the genus Antonaria, 

 the eyes being smaller and less prominent, and the head more gradually narrowed 

 behind than in A. muriiia Westw., the type of that genus ; the epimera of the 

 prothorax are somewhat exceptional in character, since they do not meet in the middle 

 line as in the vast majority of the Megalopince, but remain separated, with the pro- 

 longed prosternum visible between them.

COLASPOSOMA CONSIMILE, sp. n. 



Oblong-ovate, varying in colour from dark metallic green to coppery brown. Last 

 five joints of the antennae dilated, black and opaque, the first six nitid, more or less 

 metallic. Prothorax thickly and rather strongly punctured. Elytra minutely and 

 rather closely punctured, the surface slightly aciculate or coriaceous, especially in the 

 female, the shoulders prominent. 



Length 8-9 ; breadth 4f-5| mm. 



Mubuku Valley, E. Euwenzori, 6000-13,000 ft. 



1 c7 and 2 S ? . 



Nearly allied to C. fairmairei Lefev. and C. Tcraatzi Jac, but having the elytra 

 relatively a little shorter and much more finely punctured.
