3. Ceuthorrynchidius Cakilis n. sp. 



C. florali Payk. simillimus et multo affitiis sed major, 

 interstitiis elytrorum 3 — 4-senatim setulosis, sutura evi- 

 dentius albidosquamosa. Long. 1,8 — 2,2 mm. 



This species is very closely allied to C. floralis Payk. 

 and it is, its larger size excepted, very difficult to specify 

 good characters for separating the two species. While by 

 floralis the interstices of the elytra are — chiefly — fur- 

 nished only with 2 series of fine hairs, the new species 

 has on most of the interstices 3 or 4 regular series of 

 hairs. Also the suture of elytra is mose densely and 

 conspicuously covered with, white scales. 



From C. rhenanus Schultze the species may amongst 

 others be distinguished by having the striae of elytra 

 (exactly as in floralis) furnished with a row of very fine 

 hairs. 



The species is found in Denmark. It lives only at 

 the sea-coast, on Cakile maritima, sometimes also on 

 Crambe maritima. 



The Type is in my collection.
