222 ZOOLOGICAL EESULTS OF THE EUWENZOEI EXPEDITION. 



the prosternum and five spots above black ; four of the spots lie in a transverse rovi^, 

 two large ones on the disc and a small one near each side ; the fifth is a small spot 

 placed on the middle line near the base. In the second specimen the prothorax is 

 wholly black beneath, while above the lateral spots are enlarged and have coalesced 

 with the discal spots, the medio-basal black spot remaining small and distinct. In 

 the third specimen the prothorax is entirely black. 



AULAMOEPHUS VARIABILIS, sp. n. (Plate VII. fig. 5.) 



Head, prothorax, and elytra yellow, spotted or banded with bluish-black; body 

 beneath (head and prothorax excepted) and legs black ; antennao blackish-brown. 

 Head with a transverse impression on the vertex between the eyes, and marked also 

 with a median longitudinal groove ; occiput marked with three small black spots, the 

 median one of which sometimes extends forwards to join one or two transverse black 

 spots in the depression between the eyes. Prothorax somewhat sparsely and not very 

 strongly punctured, having a feeble and nearly obsolete transverse groove or depression 

 on each side of the disc, and marked with three black spots, two anterior and oblique 

 or subtriangular, the third a small round spot placed just behind the middle of the 

 disc. Scutellum black. Elytra rather feebly and not thickly punctured, somewhat 

 variable in their markings; these may consist of: (1) two black spots at the base of 

 each elytron — one spot rounded or subquadrate on the disc, the other lateral and 

 longitudinal, extending back from just behind the shoulder ; (2) two black spots at 

 the base, as in the preceding form, and a third, rounded spot placed near the side 

 about halfM'ay between the middle and the apex ; or (3) a transverse black band 

 crossing the whole width of the elytra at the base, and extending for almost a third 

 of their length from the base along the disc, and a somewhat longer distance at the 

 sides. 



Length 6-6| ; breadth 3 mm. 



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



From A. liollisi Jac, the type of the genus, the present species differs not only in its 

 markings, but also in being much less closely and strongly punctured on the prothorax 

 and elytra, in having only a feeble groove or depression on each side of the pronotum, 

 the antennae scarcely thickened towards the apex and their third very little longer 

 than their second joints. 



The characters of the genus Aulacoj)us, as given by Jacoby, are in one respect 

 erroneous. The front coxal cavities are open behind, not closed as stated by Jacoby. 



Hemipheacta jacobti, sp. n. 



2 . Head, antennae, pronotum, scutellum, and legs (the basal half of the femora 

 excepted) black ; pronotum margined at base and apex with testaceous ; elytra 

 brownish-testaceous; body beneath and base of femora reddish-testaceous. Head,
