disc. First joint of antennae and legs yellow; elytra dark 

 brown. 



Length 3 mm. 



Very near T. centralis, Shp., from which it differs by the 

 finer and uniform puncturation of the thorax and the finer 

 puncturation of the elytra. From T. croceipes, Fvl., it differs 

 by the much narrower head and thorax, much more coarsely 

 punctured and more even elytra, and the yellow legs and 

 first antennal joint. 



Head rather large, narrower than the thorax ; eyes large, 

 their diameter greater than the length of the temples ; 

 longitudinally impressed on either side in front, closely 

 and distinctly punctured. Antennas with exception of the 

 first joint dark; the second a little shorter than third; 

 third to eighth longer than broad, gradually decreasing in 

 length ; ninth and tenth about as long as broad ; eleventh 

 oval, pointed. Maxillary palpi brown. Thorax transverse, 

 cordate, narrower than the elytra, dilated and rounded in 

 front and narrowed behind ; anterior angles completely 

 effaced; disc with a distinct fovea on either side of the 

 middle line and a semilunar impression before the base ; 

 puncturation as on head, uniform. Elytra quite one-third 

 longer than the thorax, as long as broad, with an oblique 

 impression between the shoulder and suture ; puncturation 

 as of thorax, evanescent towards the postero-external angles. 

 Abdomen finely and rather closely punctured and pubescent.

5. Thinobius miricornis, sp. n. 

 (Fauvel, in Hit.) 



Pitch-black or pitch-brown ; the thorax, base of abdomen, 

 legs, first and last three joints of antennas yellow, sometimes 

 the latter entirely yellow. 



Length 1*3 mm. 



Head narrower than the thorax, transverse, with trans- 

 verse impressed line between the antennal tubercles ; eyes 

 rather small, their diameter about equalling the length o£ 

 the temples ; sculpture close, rngulose. Antennae (£) more 

 elongate than in $ ; first joint stout, second shorter than 

 third, fourth to tenth much longer than broad, eleventh a 

 little longer than tenth ; in ? fourth to sixth joints about 

 twice as long as broad, seventh and eighth a little longer 

 than broad, ninth and tenth as broad as long, eleventh
