1. Bagous b rev/tars is n. sp. 



Validus, niger, squamulis griseis nigrisque variegatus, 

 antennis inferne tarsisque brunneis, fronte foveolata, ro- 

 stro nigro, curvato. Prothorax longitudine sua quarta 

 parte latior, lateribus rotundatis, medio non canaliculato, 

 in basi paullo angustatus, antice constrictus. Elytra pro- 

 thorace sesqui latiora, latitudine sua sesqui longiora, striis 

 distinctis apicem lateraque versus tenuatis, interioribus 

 antice subtiliter sed distincte punctatis, interstitiis aequa- 

 libus et fere planis, interstitio quinto apice subcalloso. 

 Pedes validi, tibiis inferne bisinuatis, tarsis aequilatis 

 brevibus, anticis intermediisque diniidiam tibiam vix, 

 posterioribus paullo superantibus, articulo secundo vix, 

 tertio paullo latitudine sua longioribus. Long. 3,8 mm. 



Bagous brevitarsis belongs to those species that have 

 the third joint of tarsi not broader than the second and 

 is allied to B. siibcahnatiis Gyll. (claiidicans Boh.), 

 brcvis Gyll. and diglyptus Boh. but may easily be distin- 

 guished from any of these species. From the first it 

 differs in having the thorax broader than long (the length 

 as compared with the breadth is 4 to 5), a little narrowed 

 behind and with more rounded sides and in having the 

 elytra only P/o times broader than the thorax (by sub- 

 carinatus the elytra are nearly twice broader than thorax)
