67. Sphadasmus granocostatus. 
Sphadasmus granocostatus Fairm. (nec Kolbe*), Bull. Soc. Ent. France, 1893, 
Pp: Cccxxv. 
Loc. Seychelles. 
Not represented in the collections before me. The type cannot now be found in 
the Fairmaire collection in the Paris Museum. 
Group Barina. 
Two Barids are contained in the Seychelles collection before me; one of them is 
probably an introduced form, but I am unable to identify it, if described; the other 
may be endemic. 
~ Baris. 
Baris Germar, Ins. Spec. Nov., p. 197 (1824) (part.). 
Baridius Schénherr, Gen. Cure., iii. p. 643 (1836) (part.). 
A genus of world-wide distribution, including a very large number of species, some of 
which have been accidentally introduced and established in countries distant from their 
original home. 
68. Baris multivaga, n. sp. 
Oblong, robust, flattened above, shining, nigro-piceous or black, the antennze and legs 
in part or entirely, and sometimes the rostrum also, ferruginous or fusco-ferruginous ; the 
sides of the prothorax, a common, elongate, X-shaped patch on the basal half of the elytra 
(extending outwards to the third stria), a small spot on the shoulders, the mesothoracic 
epimera, the prosternum, and metathoracic episterna, somewhat thickly clothed with 
coarse, oblong, ochraceous scales, the rest of the under surface, the rostrum, and legs set 
with narrower pallid scales, the elytra also with scattered longer, setiform, whitish, and 
smaller, inconspicuous, darker scales along each interstice. Rostrum strongly arcuate, 
very stout in g, a little more slender in $, not much shorter than the prothorax, coarsely 
punctate to the tip, the punctures placed in grooves along the sides, the antennz inserted 
at about the apical third; eyes large; antennze stout. Prothorax transverse, the sides 
strongly rounded anteriorly and parallel towards the base, the latter deeply sinuate ; 
coarsely, closely punctate, except along a narrow smooth space down the middle, the 
punctures becoming confluent laterally and the scales on this portion of the surface 
transversely arranged. Llytra oblong, a little wider than the prothorax ; with sharply- 
cut deep striz, and broad, coarsely, rugosely punctate interstices, the sculpture becoming 
more granulate towards the sides. Pygidium coarsely punctured. Beneath coarsely, 
closely punctate, the ventral segments more sparsely and more finely punctured down 
the middle, broadly and deeply sulcate in 2. 
Length 34—33 mm. ($9). 
* The specimens determined by Kolbe as S. granocostatus Fairm. are really Cryptorrhynchidius 
granuger, q.v. (anted, p. 443). '
