NOVEMBER 1921. XLVIIT.—Revision of the African S^ec/e* 0/Hedybius, Er., and its Allies, with an Account of their accessory ^-characters [Coleoptera]. By G. C. Champion^ [Plates Xin. & XIV.] This paper is based upon a study of the species of tlie Malachiid genera Hechjbius, Er., Illops, Er.^ and Philhedonus, Gorh., represented in the Cape Town Museum, the Durban Museunij tlie British Museum in London, and the Hope Collection at Oxford. The Cape Town material, which includes the types of the various forms described or named by Abeille de Perrin in 1900 and examples of most of the species here enumerated, has been communicated by Dr. L. Peringuey, Avho has allowed me to retain co-types or duplicates for our National Collection. These genera, like many others of the group, are based almost eotirely upon c?-characters, audit is therefore impossible in some cases to locate with any certainty a $ example when that sex only is available for examination. Again, the head, antennje, prothorax, or pygidium is sometimes differently coloured, or otherwise maculate, in the two sexes, at least in the genus Hedyhius. The result is that several species have been described two or three times under different names. Paired examples of various S. African forms sent by Dr. Peringuey, and the abundant material obtained by Ann. dk Mag. N. Hist. Ser. 9. Vol. viii. 29.
