Differs from the Natal species, its only congener, in the large 

 size of the club of the antennae, and the equal distribution of the 

 pubescence ; this to the naked eye has a cobweb-like texture and 

 colour.

This very distinct species of a South- African genus, which has 

 had, hitherto, only one representative in the European fauna (in- 

 cluding the countries bordering the Mediterranean), is named in 

 memory of Gabriel de Baran, a most acute entomologist, and my 

 companion in many pleasant excursions in the^ south of France.
