( Col ) 



II. Rostrum short, anteiiiial grooves small without distinctly cariiiiform dorsal 

 border ; second antennary joint at least 2J as long as broad ; lateral angles of pro- 

 thoracic carina very oblique and strongly rounded, infero-lateral part of that carina 

 more or less directed towards the front. 



Small species; A. undulatus Qned. and probably also A. suhcostatus Qued. 

 belong to this grouji, which is more closely allied to Apolecfa Pasc. than the first 

 group is.

]'>2. Anacerastes albinus sp. nov. 



? . A. praecedenti similis, sed protliorace dorso sat profunde late impresso, in hoc 

 impressionis medio tuberculato-elevato, elytris pone basim fortius transverse impressis, 

 hac impressione cum altera basali adhumerali contigua, cum capite supra et 

 prothorace disco et elytrorum depressione suturali intra utriu-C[ue elytri strias 

 tertias medio magis elevatas pube alba hand densa obtecta, gibbositate postscutellari 

 ac elytrorum lateribus fuscis, sutura etiam iiarum fusco-notata ; pygidio ac corpore 

 infra cum pedibus cinereo-tomentosis ; tibiis versus basim et apice, tarsorum articulo 

 primo apice brunneis ; antennis dilutioribus quam in specie praecedente, articulo 

 tertio basi apiceque exceptis rufo. 

 Long. 7 mm., elytr. 5, lat. 2f. 



This and the preceding species liave the pubescence of the upper surface incon- 

 .spicuously parti-coloured with fuscous. The second and third interstices of the elytra 

 are distinctly raised at the base in A. albinus, and the third interstice is also elevate 

 for a short way just behind the transverse post basal impression; the sutm'al depression 

 extending from that impression to the apex of the elytra is stronger in A. albinus 

 than in A. pyfjidialis.
