intervals, a row of long erect white setae, Avhicli are not 

 longer than the scape, the setoe on the remaining intervals 

 being not more than half the length. 



Length 3i-l' mm., breadth l^-lf mm. 



Cape Provixce : Uitenhage (i^a/Ae/- /. A. O'Neil). 



Described from ten specimens. 



Microlarinus angustulus, sp. n. 



Colour piceous, with comparatively thin recumbent grey 

 hairs and more or less ochreous-brown powdering ; the pro- 

 thorax with a broad lateral stripe of very dense whitish 

 hairs, which is abruptly and broadly produced inwards on 

 the anterior half, so that the dark discal area, on which the 

 hairs are darker and much shortex', is nearly half as wide in 

 front as it is at the base ; the elytra with rather thin grey 

 hairs, a whitish spot at the shoulder and at the base of 

 interval 3, and some small ill-defined pale spots laterally 

 on the posterior half formed of denser groups of hairs. 



Head with longitudinally confluent punctation and rather 

 densely setose, the forehead transversely flattened and with 

 a shallow median fovea. Rostrum as long as its basal width, 

 sharply narrowed from the base to the middle, and thence 

 parallel-sided, much more finely punctate than the forehead 

 and with a median farrow in the basal half only. Prothorax 

 subcylindrical, a little longer than broad, feebly rounded 

 at the sides, broadest at the middle, the apex only slightly 

 narrower than the base, with coarse reticulate punctures 

 and short suberect pale setse. Elytra cylindrical, not much 

 broader than the prothorax, the shoulders oblique, the dorsal 

 outline almost continuous with that of the prothorax and 

 quite flat for more than two-thirds the length ; the very 

 shallow strife with closely-set quadrate punctures, the 

 intervals as broad as or narrower than the striae, flat, and 

 each bearing a row of rather short, obliquely raised setae 

 of approximately equal lengths ; a low elevation at the base 

 on each side of the suture. 



Length 3-2-4 mm., breadth l-r2mm.
