252 Dr. Malcolm Cameron on 



Myrmedoniini. 



110. Falagria tenuicornis, n. sp. 



Pitchy-brown, dull, the first two joints of the antennae, the base 

 of the elytra, 1st visible abdominal segment, posterior margin of the 

 2nd and legs yellow- testaceous, the distal half of the intermediate 

 and posterior femora and bases of the corresponding tibiae, a little 

 Jnfuscate. Length 3 mm. 



Smaller and much narrower than F. opacicoUis Kr,, with much 

 smaller head, more slender antennae and much less shining eljrtra' 

 and abdomen than in that species and moreover with only the third 

 (first visible) and posterior margin of the second abdominal segment 

 testaceous, which with the elytra are much more closely punctured. 

 Head suborbicular, the temples rounded and passing insensibly into 

 the base, sculpture finely and densely coriaceous without visible 

 puncturation. Antennae slender with all the joints considerably 

 longer than broad, the 2nd about as long as, but more slender than 

 the 1st, the 3rd longer than the 2nd, the 4th to the 10th longer than 

 broad, gradually decreasing in length, the 11th elongate as long as 

 the two preceding together. Thorax oneJourth as long again as 

 the breadth at the widest part, contracted behind, rounded and 

 dilated anteriorly, the disc narrowly sulcate in the middle throughout 

 its length; sculpture as on the head. Scutellum impunctate and 

 without keel. Elytra broader than, but (at the suture) a little 

 shorter than the thorax, not so dull as the fore-parts, very finely and 

 closely punctured, finely pubescent. Abdomen less dull than the 

 thorax, very finely and closely punctured and pubescent throughout.

111. Falagria brevicornis, n. sp. 



Reddish-brown, shining; the elytra fusco-testaceous ; base of 

 the abdomen, the first four and the last joints of the antennae and the 

 legs testaceous, the intermediate joints of the antennae and the 

 apical half of the intermediate and posterior femora more or less 

 infuscate. Length 2-8 mm. 



In build and coloration so similar to F. dimidiata Motsch., that 

 an enumeration of the points of diiference should suffice. The an- 

 tennae are stouter and shorter, the 8th joint being as long as broad 

 and the 9th and 10th distinctly transverse, the puncturation of the 

 thorax is distinctly more sparse, the base is more strongly constricted 

 and the posterior angles more prominent; the puncturation of the 

 abdomen is distinctly less close.
