 more sparingly and obsoletely punctured, the antennae 

 distinctly longer but similarly constructed, the individual joints 

 longer, the thorax not at all flattened in the middle in front 

 so that the sulcus does not appear to open out, and more 

 obsoletely punctured, elytra rather less closely punctured. 

 Length 3. 5. mm. 



Mt. Dulit, 3500 feet, three specimens. 



Tachyusa asperata n. sp. 



Subopaque, pitchy, densely, finely sculptured and pubescent 

 throughout. Abdomen scarcely constricted at the base. 

 Scutellum, base and apical margins of the elytra testaceous- 

 yellow. Antenna3 pitchy, the first 3 joints and the last, 

 testaceous. Femora pitchy, the tibioe and tarsi testaceous.
