322 Appendix to the Proceedings 



ing the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th interstices, placed about the 

 middle, although from the declivity towards the apex they look 

 as if rather behind the middle ; the posterior spot smaller, and 

 lying close to the emargination of the apex (which is slight), 

 where several striae meet, and only separated from the margin 

 by the marginal space ; neither of the spots reach the three in- 

 terstices next the suture; slightly margined; marginal space 

 very narrow, not differing from the other interstices, except in 

 there not being room for any punctuation at all. Under side 

 black, in certain lights iridescent blue. Frosternum and breast 

 coarsely punctate. Abdomen polished, a few coarse punctures 

 near the base. Legs piceous ; thighs testaceous, in certain lights 

 bluish iridescent; anterior and intermediate tibise partly tes- 

 taceous ; the first three joints of the anterior tarsi very much 

 dilated in the males, and furnished with long spongy squamse 

 and very long hairs on each side; 1st joint transversely tri- 

 angular, 2nd and 3rd rounded quadrate, 4th not dilated. 



This species is very close to the Homalolachnus vertagoides of 

 Laferte, but differs from his description in the following parti- 

 culars : viz. In my species the head is punctate behind, and 

 there are traces of punctuation near the eyes, while in verta- 

 goides the head is said to be smooth (lisse). In it, too, the thorax 

 is said to have its greatest breadth at about two-fifths of its 

 length, and the posterior angles are said to form a right angle 

 very slightly obtuse, whilst in my species the greatest breadth 

 is at the middle, and the posterior angles are rounded and some- 

 thing more than "very slightly obtuse/-' The spots on the 

 elytra do not cover the same interstices, Laferte saying that in 

 his species the anterior spot is separated from the suture by 

 only two interstitial spaces (including in them the sutural space), 

 while in my species it is separated therefrom by three spaces. The 

 colour of the legs also does not quite correspond; the knees are 

 all black in mine, and the middle of the tibise of the two anterior 

 pair testaceous, while in vertagoides Laferte gives the whole of 

 the thighs as testaceous, and the whole of the tibise as blackish, 

 It may, however, be merely a variety.
