 longe ampliata, ab humero obtuse rotundato usque ad apicem fortiter attenuata, 

 supra subdeplanata, ad suturam paulo convexa, ad latera abrupte inflexa, leviter 

 10-striata, striis regularitergranulatis, granulis in striiset in interstitiis sequalibus, 

 interstitiis latis planis undique irregulariter granulatis, setis minutis depressis. 

 Pedes ferruginei aut rufo-biunnei, longe setosi et scabrosi, tibiis interne spinis 

 4-6 armatis. 



Long. 9-9^, lat. 4^-5 mm. 



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

 except the slightly greater width of the ? . 



Amphitjietus PL,.\mcoLLis, sp. o. (Plate VII. fig. 17.) 



Niger, omnino nudus, margine posteriore metasterni ante coxas posticas squamis 



elongatis albis fimbriato. 

 A. leggei simillimus, differt rostro non carinato, basi parallelo ; prothorace non 

 latiore quam longiore, a basi ad medium parallelo, dein ad apicera gradatim 

 curvato angustato, in disco late sed parum profunde impresso ; elytris granulis 

 in striis majoribus, illis in interstitiis confertioribus ; metasterno inter coxas 

 medias obtuse tuberculato. 

 Long. 10, lat. 5^ mm. 

 Hah. Mubuku Valley, E. Ruwenzori. 



Described from a single specimen, which in all its other characters agrees with 

 A. leggei. 



I am not acquainted with A. transversus, Kolbe, the type species, and the only one 

 as yet described. But the species here defined agree entirely with the generic 

 characters given by Kolbe, except as regards the mesosternal tubercle. In A. trans- 

 versus this is stated to be prominent and acute ; in A. leggei it is absent ; while in 

 A. planicollis it is in an intermediate condition, being small and blunt *. Apart from 



* A third species referable to this genus may here be described : — 



A. foveipennis, sp. nov. — Eufo-brunneus, omnino nudus, macula parva cupreo-virescente in angulo postico 

 externo metasterni. Caput, rostrum, antennae, prothorax omnino ut in A. planicolle. Elytra ad 

 humeros minus dilatata, postice magis gradatim attenuata, supra convexiora, striis foveis profundis obsitis, 

 interstitiis quam striis non latioribus, icdistincte granulatis et rugosis, setis minutis sparsis, apicem 

 versus paulo longioribus. Pedes flavo-testacei, femoribus et tibiis ad apicem ipsum tarsisque totis nigris. 

 Long. S 9-9|, $ 9|-10; lat. cJ 4i-4|, $ o-5i mm.— British East Africa: Lagari (C S. Betton).
