220 ZOOLOGICAL RESULTS OF THE EU VA^ENZOEI EXPEDITION. 



slender, extending to the middle of the elytra in the female and to the posterior third 

 in the male ; elytra minutely and sparsely punctulate, glossy. 



c?. Pronotum with a reuiform depression near the base, in the sinus of which, 

 facing the scutellum, is a small triangular tubercle or elevation. Scutellum triangular, 

 glossy, not overlapped by any process of the pronotum, somewhat similar in size and 

 shape to that of the female, but of a yellowish colour. Elytra elevated near the base 

 on each side of the scutellum, each having there three small anteriorly projecting 

 tubercles or prominences. First abdominal segment with a round piligerous pit, the 

 last segment with a slightly concave median lobe. 



2 . Pronotum and elytra normal ; scutellum black. 



Length 8-9 ; breadth o^ mm. 



Hab. Ruweuzori, 7000-8000 ft. {G. F. Scott Elliot) ; Mubuku Valley, E. Ruwenzori, 

 6000-7000 ft. 



Var. — Elytra with the apical half (excepting a large rounded preapical spot on each) 

 black, the black area being extended forwards a little more at the suture and sides 

 than it is in the middle. 



Hab. Mokia, S.E. Ruwenzori, 3400 ft., and Mubuku Valley, E. Ruwenzori, 6000- 

 7000 ft. ; British East Africa (C. S. Betton). 



AULACOPHORA FISSICOLLIS Thoms., var. 

 Ruwenzori {G. F. Scott Elliot).

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



This species was based upon examples from Kamerun in West Africa. The 

 specimens from Ruwenzori agree in size and coloration with the described form and 

 its variety, except that the antennse are in the majority of the specimens yellowish- 

 white with the last joint only dark brown, and the legs are sometimes wholly or in 

 part black. The last ventral segment is regularly rounded at the apex in the female, 

 thus differing slightly from the outline figured for the type by Herr Weise {I. c. pi. 1. 

 tig. 39).

Testaceous-yellow ; the elytra exhibiting the following variations in colour : — 

 (1) basal half black, the rest testaceous-yellow ; (2) basal half black, but enclosing on 

 each elytron a rather large rounded yellow spot, the apical half testaceous-yellow ; 

 (3) differing from second by the addition of a dark pitchy-brown patch near the 

 apex and a dark band along the side uniting this patch with the black basal area ; 

 body beneath testaceous, the sides of the breast, and sometimes also of the anterior
