JORDAN—COLEOPTERA: ANTHRIBIDA 253 
Brunneo-rufus, luteo-griseo-pubescens, brunneo-maculatus, antennarum basi, pedibus 
atque ore plus minusve luteis ; antennis pronoti basin superantibus, articulo 3'° secundo 
fere duplo longiore, 8° longitudine secundi, 9°—11° conicis, parum compressis, 11° apice 
breviter acuminato ; fronte rostri dimidio basali latiore; pronoto confertissime ruguloso- 
punctato, latitudine paululo breviore; elytris subparallelis, punctato-striatis, pronoto 
triente longioribus, striis luteo-griseis fasciis transversis brunneis interruptis; subtus 
griseus. 
Long. (cap. excl.) 2°2 mm. 
One ¢, which is not a true Hormascops. 
The upper lobe of the very distinctly sinuate eye is much narrower than the lower 
portion of the eye. The segments of the club of the antenna are nearly alike except for 
the eleventh segment being acuminate at the tip, while the other two are truncate; they 
appear regularly reversed conical in a view of the broader side, 9 being longer than 3. 
The occiput bears two rufous patches separated by a luteous grey pubescent median 
line, these markings being continued on to the pronotum. The latter is a very little 
broader than it is long, being widest posterior to the apex of the lateral carina; the sides 
are rounded. The carina is almost evenly curved dorsally, and flexed forward in a wide 
are at the sides, reaching nearly to the middle, with the lateral angle hardly at all 
indicated. The two rufous apical patches mentioned before are united posteriorly ; there 
is a very large brown central patch in front of the carina, enclosing a small grey spot; the 
sides bear two pairs of brown spots which nearly form two longitudinal lines. 
The elytra are very slightly wider than the pronotum, being one-third longer than it, 
their length also surpassing their breadth by nearly one-third. They are luteous grey, 
the large spot on the basal callosity of each elytrum being brown; the interspaces 1, 2, 4, 
6, 8 are rather more extended rufous than the others, thus luteous grey stripes being 
formed which, however, are interrupted by 6 or 7 irregular transverse bands ; the sides of 
the elytra are slightly blackish. 
The first segment is longer in all the tarsi than the fourth.

a2. Brevis, brunneo-niger, griseo-albo-pubescens nigro-variegatus, antennis pedi- 
busque rufis, illis clava, his tibiarum apicibus atque tarsorum articulis 2°—4° nigris. 
Pronotum postice parum depressum, carina dorsali recta in medio levissime angulata, 
lateribus in angulum obtusum rotundatum sed distinctum antrorsum flexa. 
Long. (cap. excl.) 6—7°3 mm. 
The black markings are irregular, not sharply defined, more or less confluent, and 
somewhat variable. On the pronotum there is a median spot close to the apical margin,
