168 BLACKBURN AND SHARP. 
On some New Species and Genera of Coleoptera. 
CISTELA. 
Cistela crassicornis, n. sp.—Ovalis, angustulus, fusco-niger, antennis pedi- 
busque testaceis, illis apicem versus obscuris, elytris bruneo-obscuris ; capite tho- 
raceque dentissime punctatis, opacis, elytris parcius punctatis, subnitidis. Long. 
6 m.m (Plate tv., f. 25). 
Antennz 3 m.m. long, rather stout, the four or five terminal joints a little ser- 
rate internally ; head narrow, coarsely and extremely densely punctate ; thorax a 
good deal narrowed in front, and rounded at the front angles; the hind angles 
nearly rectangular; the basal margin fine but distinct; lateral margin scarcely 
to be detected in front, the surface coarsely and extremely densely punctate, 
finely and scantily pubescent; elytra of a dark, sordid brown colour, rather 
shining, moderately closely and not coarsely punctate, the punctures scarcely to 
be distinguished as impressions, with a depression along the suture, and with a 
very feeble appearance of being striate, owing to an arrangement of some of the 
punctures in a linear manner. 
A pair of this species was taken from trees in the Palolo valley, Oahu. The male has the second, 
third, and fourth joints of the front tarsi, especially the two latter, considerably dilated. Mr. Blackburn 
states that the antenne of the female are somewhat shorter, and paler in colour, than those of the 
male, and have the internal serration of the terminal four or five joints less evident. 
D.S. 
ANTHICUS. 
Anthicus mundulus, n. sp.—Gracilis, angustulus, parce pubescens, nitidus, fer- 
rugineus, elytris plaga laterali variabili abdomineque fuscis ; prothorace basi fortiter 
punctato, anterius fere impunctato ; elytris parce punctatis, tenuiterque pubescen- 
tibus. Long. 3 m.m. 
Antenne reddish, rather elongate, slightly thickened at the extremity; head 
oval, narrow, the vertex greatly curved, and greatly elevated above the slender 
neck, sparingly and obsoletely punctate; thorax slender, greatly constricted 
behind, at the base coarsely and closely punctate, in front, almost impunctate, 
sparingly and finely pubescent; elytra elongate and narrow, rather curved at the 
sides, sparingly punctate and pubescent, with a large patch of darker colour at the 
side of each; legs yellow. , 
This species varies somewhat in colour, the dark marks of the elytra being 
sometimes more intense and extensive, and in such cases the head and thorax 
become deeply tinged with the dark colour ; the punctuation of the elytra is some- 
times coarser and more definite. 
North American specimens, scarcely differing from this species, are extant in the British Museum, 
with the MS. name attached, A. salinus, Schaum ; but this name is in use for another species.
