SOME NEAV ANTHRIBIDAE. 



By Dr. K. JORDAN. 



1. Eugigas childreni spilosas subsp. nov. 



c??. Ab E. ch. childreni diflfert pronoto elytrisque flavescentibns distinctins 

 maculatis, elytris maculis nigris magis nnmerosis. 



The third segment of all the tarsi is white at the base, The upper surface is 

 more 3'ellowish than in the Javan race, the white dots of the pronotum are more 

 distinct, and all the grey and black markings of the elytra better defined, the black 

 tessellations on the dorsal surface of the elytra being also denser. The underside 

 is deeper yellow than in childreni, and the black as well as the white spots are 

 more prominent. 



Perak (type, ? ), Sumatra ; a few specimens of both sexes. 



2. Nessiara longicollis spec. nov. 



c? ? . A. didymae colore signatnrisque simillima ; rostri marginibns apicali 

 et laterali non separatis ; prothorace longiore. 



A series of both sexes from Borneo (type from Pontianak). 



The lateral portion of the apical margin of the rostrum does not extend 

 backwards as a separate carina, as is the case in A. didifiwi Pasc. (1 859), especially 

 in the cJ<?, but is continuous with the lateral margin, being at the most separated 

 from it by a small incision. The eyes are more oblique and nearer together 

 anteriorly than in didyma, and the abdomen of the c? is more distinctly flattened 

 or impressed from the first segment to the fourth. The brownish black vittae 

 of the pronotum as a rule are not interrnpted. 



3. Nessiara cethis spec. nov. 



<?. Pallida brnnneo-rufa, tomento flavo et nigro macnlata, subtus flavo-griseo 

 tomentosa, medio nigrescente, pedibus pallide rnfis. Rostrum longitndine duplo 

 latins, antrorsum angustatum, non carinatum, subtus tribus carinis atque punctis 



grossis instrnctum. Frons rostro plus triplo angustior. Elytra tessellata. 



Long. (cap. excl.) 5'5 — 7 mm. 



Two cJc? from Macassar, Celebes, June 1S96 (W. Doherty). 



This small species resembles A. macassaren.iis Jord. (IdUS) in colour, but 

 the head is essentially different. The rostrum is broadest at the base, where 

 the sides are rounded-dilated, and distinctly narrows towards the apex. The 

 upper edge of the antenual groove is separated from the lateral edge of the 

 rostrum, being basal and ventral to it. The centre of the rostrum, above, is 

 slightly convex, but there is no carina. 



The pronotum is similarly spotted with greyish yellow pubescence as in 

 A. macassarensis, the markings, which are more or less connected with each other, 

 consisting in the main of three nearly interrupted longitudinal stripes and a 

 transverse median row of four spots. The elytra are convex and chequered with
