African Phytophagous Colcoptera. 213 



rufous patch at the top of the head is also more or less 

 present in L. chalcoptera, and other differences I cannot 

 see in the description which is scarcely detailed enough, 

 nor is the exact locality of the species given.

The head, antennae, the breast and abdomen more or less black, 

 thorax fulvous, subangulate anteriorly, the disc with deep punctures 

 in rows, elytra closely punctate-striate, flavous, the suture black, 

 the lateral margins reddish-fulvous.

Of very elongate and narrow shape, the head deeply constricted

 C. balyi, Har., likewise from Africa, but the markings of 

 the elytra are entirely different and the latter are devoid 

 of any transverse bands and their punctuation is more 

 regularly and closely arranged. I possess a single specimen 

 of this species. 



Poccilomorpha fulvicomis, sp. n.

Length 7 millim. 



Head broad, the clypeus separated from the face by a transverse 

 groove, the antennae extending to the base of the thorax, fulvous, 

 the lower four joints black, the fifth and following transversely
