femoribiis medio fuscis ; elytria basi bicallosis. Long. corp. 3| 

 m.m. 



Antennee elongate and slender, reddish ; joints 3-8 each a 

 little thickened, but scarcely nodose at their apex ; ninth joint 

 quite as long as the tenth and eleventh together; antennal cavi- 

 ties large, their upper edge approaching very close to the eye : 

 the eye itself is scarcely emarginate. The thorax is not quite 

 so long as broad, is densely and rather coarsely punctured, and 

 clothed with variegated hair-like scales ; its carina distinct and 

 forming an obtuse angle on each side. Elytra with rows of 

 rather strong punctures, clothed in large part with blackish 

 hair-like scales, and elsewhere with similar but greyish hairs, 

 at the base with a pair of quite distinct callosities, and with 

 indications of a second pair of callosities just on the middle.

Ohs. The different form of the eye very readily distinguishes 

 tliis from the other allied species ; the form of the thorax is 

 similar to that of Lawsomu lonfficorm's rather than to tliat of A. 

 phymatodes. At first sight it would be thought that the eye 

 in this species is not emarginate ; but on a comparison with al- 

 lied species it is seen tliat we have here an emarginate eye, in 

 which there is a concomitant change of form, so that it appears 

 like a round eye with a pointed projection above the cavity 

 for the antennte. 



Anthrihus alius, n. sp. {Cratojjaris). 



A. oblongus, dense tomentosus, antennis pedibusque testaceis, fusco 

 variegatus, illarum clava fusca ; rostro ante ociilos fovea minuta, 

 oblonga; elytris basi bicallosis, pone medium penicillis duobus. 

 Long. Corp. 4 m. m. 



Antennae shorter than head and thorax ; second joint oval, 

 about as long as first ; of the following joints, 3-8, each is a 

 little shorter than its predecessor, 9-11 forming an abrupt, 

 loosely articulated club. Rostrum short and broad, a good 

 deal constricted in front of the eyes, and in the middle showing 

 a small oblong depression. Thorax not so long as broad, a good 

 deal narrowed in front, its disk forming an indistinct elevation 

 or callosity ; elytra with the basal part on each side the scutel- 

 lum much elevated, and behind the middle eacli bearing an 

 elevated tuft of pubescence ; they, like the rest of the surface, 

 are densely clothed with tomentum, and shoAv a more or less 

 distinct circular mark between the four elevations. Legs 

 yellowish and not very distinctly spotted. 



Two individuals have been sent me by Captain Broun ; I 

 do not know ihcir sex.
