Anthrihics Brouni, n. sp. 



A. capite rostrato, oculis prominulis, ab antennis remotis, oblongus, 

 variegato-tomentosus, antennis pedibusque testaceo fuscoque 

 variegatis; elytris punctato-striatis. Long. corp. 2^-4 m. m,; 

 antennarxun l|-3 m. m. 



Antennge variable in length, yellowish, the joints more or 

 less marked with dark fuscous, so as in some individuals to be 

 nearly entirely black, the three apical joints forming a broad, 

 flat club ; first joint short, only moderately thickened ; second 

 rather longer than first, third longer and more slender than 

 second ; eighth distinctly stouter than the preceding joints. 

 Head distinctly rostrate, the rostrum dilated towards the apex ; 

 its front margin slightly emarginate behind the labrum ; the 

 eyes prominent, oval, widely separated ; the antennse inserted 

 at the sides, very near the apex, and separated from the eye by 

 a space about equal to the length of the eye ; the antennal 

 cavities elongate fovese, and abruptly limited behind ; its sur- 

 face densely and rather finely nigose-punctate, and bearing 

 hairs a little variegated in colour. Thorax about as long as 

 broad, much naiTOwed towards the front, its carina moderately 

 distant from the elytra and gently bent forwards along the 

 sides without forming an angle ; the sides of the thorax behind 

 the carina a good deal narrowed ; the surface is densely but 

 rather indistinctly rugosely sculptured, and bears variegated 

 hairs as its clothing. Elytra much variegated, the sides and 

 extremity being darker than the discoidal part, and near the 

 sides there is a slight metallic appearance ; they bear rows of 

 punctures, which are rather coarse, but much obscured by the 

 clothing. The legs are yellowish, more or less variegated 

 with dark marks. Tarsi rather slender, second joint rather 

 deeply emarginate, third small.
