TRIBE XVIII. BARINI. .30.5 



t-sifi>uiin, but the original description of the latter, as above 

 given, states that the beak is shorter than thorax, elytra not 

 wider than base of thorax, with a pale spot behind the middle, 

 and legs rufo-piceous, all characters widely at variance with the 

 present species. 



III. STENOBARIS Linell, 1897. (Gr., "narrow" -|- Baris.) 



Body slender, sparsely clothed with linear scales, not con- 

 densed into spots; beak not separated from the head, slender, 

 cylindrical, curved, as long as thorax; antennae inserted before 

 its middle, club oval, densely pubescent, as long as the preceding 

 four joints combined, second funicular joint as long as the next 

 two united; front coxa? large, very narrowly separated; proster- 

 nuni slightly convex, transversely impressed at the apical mar- 

 gin; tarsal claws very small, free; pygidium completely exposed, 

 oblique. "Allied to Plcsio'baris Casey, from which it differs by 

 the slender form, narrow prosternum, longer second funicular 

 joint and the vestiture not forming any spots." (LinclL) 



554 (- -). STENOBARIS AVICENNIJE Linell, 1897, 52. 



Elongate, lanceolate. Bronzed, shining; beak, antenngp and legs red- 

 dish-brown. Beak nearly smooth, finely punctate on the sides at 

 base. Antenna? slender, scape not reaching the eye; club piceous, the 

 basal joint large, composing one-half the mass. Head bronzed, alutaceous, 

 coarsely but not densely punctate, rugose and scaly between the eyes. 

 Thorax cylindrical, as long as wide, narrowed but not constricted at apex; 

 disc very coarsely and densely punctate, each puncture bearing a narrow 

 yellowish-white scale at the bottom. Elytra at base distinctly broader 

 than thorax, humeri prominent; sides parallel for four-fifths the length, 

 then curved to apex; strise fine, coarser at base, subobsoletely punctate; 

 intervals flat, remotely transversely strigose, each striga with a small 

 puncture, bearing a long, narrow grayish-white scale. Ventral surface 

 with scale-bearing punctures, rather dense on the thoracic segments, 

 sparse on the abdomen. Length 3 mm.

IV. GLYPTOBARIS Casey, 1892. (Gr., "engraved" -j- Baris.) 



In Baris the front coxa? are very narrowly separated in uni- 

 Mlicata, strenua and call-Ida, more widely in the other species, 

 but never by a distance equalling their ow T n width; in Gli/pto~b(iris 

 they are remote, the prosternum broad and flat between them and 

 having two small, deep fovea? widely distant in front and con- 

 nected by a very narrow, deep, abrupt groove. From each fovea
