104 DescriiUive Catalogue [1896. 



Shape and size of B. notatus, Bohern., with the joints of the 

 antennae not broader, and the tuft of hairs Under the fourth joint 

 similar ; markings of the elytra very different. 



This species should follow B. notatus in the . systematic arrange- 

 ment. Although, strictly speaking, B. Bianconi and B. Lieugmei 

 should solely be included in the genus BostricojjJiorus, I feel myself 

 quite justified in including in this genus such species the males of 

 which have a fascicle of hairs under the fourth joint of the antennae, 

 and which said joints, with the exception of the four basal ones, are 

 more or less subfoliate and compressed. These characters are 

 certainly more developed in Bianconi and Lieugmei than in other 

 species from South or West Africa, but there could be no excuse in 

 ignoring the affinity of the other species I include in this genus.

Having now been able to examine both sexes of B. conqjressi- 

 cornis, Bohem., I find that this species belongs to the genus Ojjhryo- 

 dera, Chaud., and not to Bostricophorus, Thorns., as I stated. 



In some examples the background of the elytra has many, very 

 short, pale yellowish lines in both sexes, more marked in the male, 

 while in others these small lines, or, rather, narrow elongate spots, 

 are almost absent.

Head and prothorax coppery, covered with very thick, decumbent 

 white hairs ; labrum yellowish- white, with three punctures on each 

 side, two close to one another in the median part, and one near the 

 outer angle ; the four basal joints of the antennae coppery, the others 

 flavescent ; mandibles rather long, but not so much as in C. capensis; 

 elytra much ampliated from below the shoulder to the apical part.
