Enparius Schonh., as the older name is used instead of Cratoparis. 



Under the genus Anthrihus only comutus of our species is given 

 in the catalogue, while lividus, vagus, bipunctatus and penicellatus 

 are referred to Br'achytarsiis. This course is a little strange, and I 

 do not see any reason for separating the last four species from cor- 

 nutus and putting them in Brachytarsus, where they are entirely 

 out of place. 



Dr. Jordan will be the author of the family Anthribidse in 

 Wytsmann's Genera Insectorum, and it is to be hoped that he will 

 not make the same mistake as his co-workers, in depending on the 

 descriptions of certain genera alone, which resulted in several 

 instances of grave errors, which could have been avoided and should 

 not occur in a work of that kind. 



It has been my intention to give tables for the determination of 

 species of the larger genera, but I could not obtain one or two spe- 

 cies of Toxotropis and also of Brachytarsus, of which the descrip- 

 tions where not sufficient for this purpose. 



I hope, however, to publish these later, or if enough material 

 could be obtained, a revision of the entire family. 



Phanosolena arizonica n. sp. — Pnbescence brownish black, on thorax 

 and elytra intermixed with testaceous and white, the former condensed more at 

 the elytral humeri and sides, and the white forming on the third interval a few 

 short lines, also on the fourth interval and at apex a few spots of white hairs; 

 otherwise in form and structure as in nigrotuberculata, except that the beak in 

 the male, on each side above the antennal fossae is strongly convex, giving it a 

 more contracted appearance and causing the median line to be impressed ; the 

 eyes are separated from the antennal fossse by not quite half the width of the 

 eye, which is in the male smaller than the antennal fossse, the latter is large and 

 somewhat triangular shaped in the male ; in the female smaller, about the size of 

 the eye. Length, male, 4 5 mm. ; female, 3.5 mm. 



Huachuca Mts., Arizona, August 10th. 



This species is very close to nigrotuberculata, but is much larger, 

 of a darker color, has the eyes distinctly separated from the anten- 

 nal fos.sie, the latter are very close to the eyes in nigrotuberculata, 

 and the beak of the male on each side, between the antennal inser- 

 tion, very convex and at middle impressed. 



Toxotropis sextuberculatus n. sp.— Brown, pubescence on head, 

 thorax and elytra intermixed with cinereous not forming a di.stinct design ; 

 third elytral interval with three tubercles of which the subbasal one is the larg- 

 est; scutellum white. Front convex, eyes oblique, emarginate; anteunse short,
