lieddish- to chi?stnut-bro\vn ; fore-legs and third antennal 

 joint yellowish-brown. 



This spi'cit s conits in the " fasciatus " gronp with banded 

 winijs, and dirt't-rs troni all the specii^s exci'|)ting fasciadis in 

 having the abdomen unicolorous. A[)nrt from its small size, 

 brevicuritis may be separated from fasciatus by its shorter 

 antennae, which are approximately 2*2 times (instead of about 

 3 times, in fasciafiis) the length of the head. The inter- 

 niediate antennal joints are relatively shorter comj)ared with 

 their breadth ; joints 3 and 4 are practically subequal, 

 whereas in /r/*f/a/M4 joint 3 is 1"2 times the length of 4. In 

 the species of the " fascintus" group in vvhicli the base of 

 the abdomen is banded with white the last four (6 to 9) 

 antennal joints are together nmch longer than the filth ; 

 u\ f'iscialus they are practically equal to the Hfili (20 : 19), 

 whdst in brtvicornis they are much shorter than the tiftli 

 (19 : 14).
