JORDAN—COLEOPTERA: ANTHRIBID At 251 
from it especially in the carina of the pronotum being basal and the club of the antenna 
more loose. The eye is either feebly emarginate, or bears a distinct though small sinus. 
The lobes of the labiophore are long and rounded. The labium is deeply excised, but the 
sinus does not extend down to the insertion of the palpi. The maxillary palpi are 
unusually stout. The buccal fissures are accompanied on the outer side, from the bases 
of the mandibles to the apex of the fissures, by a rather sharply defined depression. The 
antennee agree best with those of Nessiara Pasc. (1860). They are clothed with short 
hairs and a few longer bristles. Segments 1 and 2 are incrassate, 3 is slender and about 
as long as 9, 8 at most twice as long as it is broad, being only half the length of 9, 9—11 
are flattened, 9 is triangular with the sides rounded distally, about half as long again as 
broad, 10 as broad as it is long, 11 ovate, the apex of 9 and 10 truncate and the base of 
10 and 11 thin, the club being loose. f 
The pronotum is much broader than it is long, being conical, and bears rather large, 
but dispersed and shallow, punctures. It is convex with a distinct flattening before the 
carina. The latter is almost evenly incurved dorsally, straightening very faintly towards 
the sides, and laterally curves forward in an obtuse angle with the point rounded off. The 
true basal cariniform edge of the pronotum gradually curves forward laterally and joins 
the main carina, forming with it a very acute angle. ‘The elytra are coarsely punctate- 
striate. The prosternum is short. The intercoxal process of the mesosternum is truncate 
with the angles somewhat rounded, the mid coxee not being notched.

$?. Rufo-brunneus, luteo-griseo-pubescens, antennarum segmentis duobus primis 
luteis, femoribus tibisque sordide luteis; pronoto duabus maculis magnis brunneis una 
utrinque in disco posita, his maculis in medio disci conjunctis vel separatis ; elytris quoque 
brunneo-signatis: macula subbasali dorsali, altera elongata fere lineiformi mediana, atque 
fascia lata parum sinuosa limbali aut sublimbali ab humero ad apicem extensa. In ¢ tibiee 
anticee crassze, tarsi antici tenues. 
Long. (cap. excl.) 2°2 mm. 
Several specimens of both sexes. 
The broad fore tibia and slender fore tarsus of the ¢ are characteristics which are not 
found in the following species. The ground-colour varies, some specimens being very 
much paler than others. The frons is one-fourth the width of the rostrum in the g and 
one-third in the ?. The brown markings of the elytra are sometimes so enlarged as 
to render the elytra brown with grey spots. The pronotum has often a small brown 
lateral median spot.
