Type in Dalman's collection, now in the 

 Stockholm Museum. Types of Walker's 

 species in the British Museum. 



A common and well-marked species, but 

 the descriptions, except Dalman's, are very 

 unsatisfactory. Bolivar writes : " inter 

 humeros convexiusculo, rucjis linearihus, ab- 

 h-eviatis, subseriatis " ; the last four words 

 hardly apply to any of the specimens before 

 me. 



32. Acanthalobus rufescens, sp. nov. 



Uniform reddish brown, hind femora ob- 

 scurely banded \\ ith dull yellow, and a broad 

 pale ring at the base ot the hind tibiae, but 

 these paler markings very indistinct. Eyes 

 large, slightly approximating in front, sepa- 

 rated by about the width of an eye ; antennae 

 inserted rathei below the level of the eyes. 

 Head and pronot un finely granulated above ;
