Heteromastix bryanti, sp. n. 



^ . riavous ; elytra, metasternum, and abdomen black, 

 tarsi and antennae (base and apex excepted) more or less 

 infuscated. Elytra and undc^r surface witli very short 

 pubescence. 



Head wide and shining. Antennae long and rather stout, 

 two apiciil joints distorted and as long as the eight preceding 

 combined. Pruthorax about twice as wide as long, margins 

 elevated and feebly dilated anteriorly. i5J/y//'« feebly dilated 

 to beyond the middle ; with dense and irregular but not 

 coarse punctures. Penultimate segment of abdomen deeply 

 incised. Legs rather long and thin. 



Length 3^ mm, 



? . Differs in having the antenmie shorter, with the tenth 

 and eleventh joints dark and simple ; the eleventh is almost 

 as long as the ninth and tenth combined, cylindrical, with 

 the apex conical ; abdomen with tlie penultimate segment 

 not incised, and the four hind femora and parts of all the 

 tibiae infuscated.

In my table (Trans, Ent. Soc. London, 1908, p. ]31) 

 "would be associated with mirabilis, from which it differs in 

 being smaller, with a greater portion of the legs and of the 

 antennae pale, and in the shape of the two terminal joints 

 of the latter. The two apical joints of the antennae are, 

 perhaps, more remarkable than those of any other species of 

 the genus. They are so closely applied together that it is 

 somewhat difficult to describe their apparent sliapes; the 

 tenth appears to be hollow, with a basal projection from 

 the eleventh extending almost its entire length w^ithin the 

 hollow ; thus the eleventh from one direction appears to be 

 twice as long as the tenth, but from another direction it 

 actually appears to be shorter than tiie tenth ; near its apex 

 it is constricted all round, so that the tip appears to be 

 knobbed.
