In the species of the genus Anfhrihus (1702) Fabr., type nlbinus, = Macro- 

 cephalus (1789) Oliv. (non Swederus, 1787), the mesial carina of the rostrum 

 and head is interrupted by a deep punctiform groove. Most of the American 

 species have legs very hairy. 



114. Anthribus farinatus spec, no v. 



cJ ? . Head and rostrum white. Antenna rufous, with the tips of the segments 

 more or less brown and the club also mostly brown, reaching in some S 6 the 

 middle, in other (?c? and in ? ? the base of the elytra, hairy beneath in S ■ Carina 

 of rostrum and of head rather high ; occiput with darker mesial triangular space. 

 Pronotum clayish ochraceons ; a white semicircular line halfway between middle 

 tuft and apical margin, ending at the outer side of the lateral discal tuft, this 

 line often interrupted ; the space between it and apical margin more or less 

 white ; three tufts, ochraceons, central hairs black. Elytra uneven, wrinkled and 

 pustulated, greyish white, shaded with brown, liasal margin clayish ochraceons, 

 most of the ttifts, especially all the subbasal ones, ochraceons, hinder side of posterior 

 tufts white, sutural interspace not very distinctly dotted with dark brown, a brown 

 sutural spot at apical third distinct ; three black dots at apex, one at tip of each 

 elytrum and an elongate one a little more proximal on sntnre ; third interspace 

 with a subbasal tuft which is the largest of all, another before middle and a third 

 before the gradual apical declivity, fifth and seventh intersjjaces with smaller 

 tufts, and the ninth also with indications of tufts or pustules, such pustules on 

 all the other alternate (3, .5, 7, 9) interstices ; middle tufts of interspaces 3, .5 and 7 

 in an oblique row. Legs long-hairy, tibiae indistinctly spotted with brown.

11.5. Anthribus gounellei spec. nov. 

 c? ? . Very close to farinatus. Carina of rostrum and head not so distinct. 

 Dark space of occiput divided by a white line. Apex of pronotum more or less 

 extended white, with three white apical lines within this area, one in middle 

 and one on each side, the lateral ones situated not quite so far towards the sides 

 as the lateral discal tuft ; in front of the lateral tuft, a little more towards middle,
