femoribus medio fuscis ; elytris basi bicallosis. Long. corp. 3| 



in. m. 



Antennae 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 

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

 similar to that oi Lawsonia longicornis rather than to that of ^i. 

 phymaiodes. 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 that we have here an emarginate eye, in 

 which there is a concomitant change of form, so that it ap])ears 

 like a round eye with a pointed projection above the cavity 

 for the antennae. 



Anthrihus altus, n. sp. {GratojJaris). 



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

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

 oblouga; elytris basi bicallosis, pone medium penicillis duobus. 

 Long, Corp. 4 m. m. 



Antennas 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 tlie 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 each bearing an 

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

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

 distinct circular mark between the four elevations. Legs 

 yellowish and not very distinctly spotted. 



Two individuals have been sent mc by Captain Broun ; 1 

 do not know their sex.
