EBURIA BAURI, new species. 



Male. — J<jlongate, slightly depressed, ferruginous, sparsely clothed 

 with a short, recumbent i)ubescence. Ajitennae twice longer than the 

 body, the four basal joints densely rugose and with long hairs on all 

 sides; the outer Joints fimbriate with long hairs, finely punctulate, 

 canaliculately impressed, beginning from the apex of the fifth joint; 

 scape feebly clavate, scarcely more than half as long as the third joint; 

 the terminal joint one third longer than tenth and curvate. Thorax 

 transverse, densely rugose; lateral si)ines small, snbconical; tubercles 

 on the sides in front obtuse, not prominent; dorsal tubercles black, 

 small, rounded. Elytra with two pairs of small yellow elevated spots, 

 surrounded by "black, all well separated; the basal i)air largest, the 

 inner one somewhat shorter; the discal pair very small, the inner one 

 almost punctiform; punctuation moderately coarse at base, not dift'er- 

 ent on the black marks, gradually finer toward apex, the intervals very 

 finely rugosely granulate; apices acuminate and spinose at middle, 

 without sutural spines. Legs moderately stout, femora not spinose, 

 the posterior pair very far fioin reaching the ai)ices of elytra. Length, 

 22 mm. 



Type.—y^o. 1317, U.8.N.M. Two examples, collected on Chatham 

 island by Dr. G. Baur. 



Female. — Color as in the male. Antennae not rugose, somewhat 

 longer than the body, the scape two-thirds the length of the third 

 joint, distinctly flat on the anterior face; outer joints compressed. 

 Head and thorax with longer pubescence and long, erect hairs inter- 

 mixed. Thorax somewhat narrowed at apex, scarcely rugose, the 

 spines and tubercles larger, all black, l-^lytra more convex, muricately
