 with four quadratcly placed punctures on the disc and 

 another on each side on the anterior border, otherwise prac-

 disc more or less int'uscate. Elytra very Hnely and very 

 sparingly punctured, and with scarcely visible ground-

89. Gyrophcena (s. sir.) faui'eli, sp. n. 

 {Jlavicornis, Fauvel, in Hit.) 



Shining, pitchy black or brown ; the elytra and abdomen

 of the elytra granular. Autenuse and legs testaceous. 



Length 1 to 1'5 mm. 



Allied to G. varians, Slip., but the antennae shorter with 

 more strongly transverse penultimate joints. 



(^ . Head nearly impunetate, moderately broad, and witli-

 joint scarcely transverse, the sixth to the tenth transverse, 

 gradually increasing in breadth, the penultimate twice as 

 broad as long. Thorax very obsoletely punctured towards 

 the sides and without ground-sculpture. Elytra transverse, 

 studded with moderately large and moderately close granules. 

 Abdomen nearly imi)unctate. 



Eighth dorsal segment on either side furnished with a 

 long, straight, inwardly directed spine ; the posterior margin 

 deeply emarginate internal to the spines, and produced and 

 gradually narrowed in the middle, forming a roundly pointed 

 lobe, not extending back quite so far as the apex of the
