356 Descriptive Catalogue [1898. 



The general appearance is not unlike that of Epigraphies, but of 

 course it does not belong to the Panagceini. I have only seen a 

 female example, in which the apical joint of the maxillary palpi is 

 sub-cylindrical and truncate at tip, but that of the labial palpi is very 

 swollen and diagonally truncate. 



Hab. Zambesia (Salisbury). 



Gen. PARACHLiENIUS, Kolb., 



Stett. Entom. Zeit., 1894, p. 196. 



Procletus, Per., Catal., p. 570. 



Parachl^nius violaceus. 



Head and prothorax piceous, elytra violaceous, under side piceous 

 red ; antennae infuscate with the exception of the two basal joints 

 which are dark red ; femora dark red, tibiae infuscate ; head nearly 

 smooth, except in the two anterior depressions which are sub-punc- 

 tulate ; prothorax as broad as long, sub-parallel, but slightly sinuate 

 towards the basal part, and also slightly rounded apically, lateral 

 margins sharp, recurved, disk set with scattered setigerous punctures ; 

 elytra a little broader than the prothorax at base, straight laterally, 

 but a little ampliate from the median part to the apex, rather de- 

 pressed, striate with the intervals nearly plane, closely and regularly 

 punctured and covered with a brief but dense yellowish pubescence 

 owing to the punctures being setigerous. Length 16 mm. ; width 

 6 mm. 



Hab. Zambezia (Enkelsdoorn). 



Smaller than P. singularis, Catal., p. 570, and differently coloured. 



Procletus having only one supra-orbital seta (over the posterior 

 part of the eye) should be included in the Chlcenini, and not in the 

 Platynini, as I have done (Catal., p. 570). 



Gen. RHOPALOMELUS, 



Catal., p. 569. 



Like Procletus, Bhopalomelus has only one supra-orbital seta, and 

 not two, as mentioned by me, loc. cit. This character removes my 

 objection to include the genus in the Chlcenini as suggested by Herr 

 H. J. Kolbe.
