  Antennae 
  With 
  the 
  basal 
  joint 
  stout, 
  elongate, 
  curvate 
  ; 
  second 
  

   joint 
  shorter, 
  but 
  equally 
  stout

  elongate. 
  Thorax 
  large, 
  

   the 
  base 
  curvate, 
  the 
  hind 
  angles 
  slightly 
  marked, 
  remote 
  from 
  the 
  

   elytra, 
  the 
  surface 
  very 
  densely 
  but 
  indistinctly 
  sculptured, 
  very 
  

   indistinctly 
  variegate 
  by 
  some 
  scanty 
  pallid

  deep 
  coarse 
  punctures, 
  

   separated 
  by 
  very 
  narrow

  Antennae 
  with 
  short 
  comparatively 
  compact 
  club, 
  the 
  inter- 
  

   mediate 
  joint 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  transverse. 
  Eyes 
  finely 
  facetted. 
  Pro- 
  

   notum 
  very 
  elongate, 
  sternum 
  short, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  thoracic 
  orifice 
  

   looks 
  downwards, 
  as 
  in 
  many 
  Tomicidce 
  ; 
  surface 
  finely 
  pimc- 
  

   tured, 
  shining, 
  the 
  hind 
  angles 
  slightly 
  marked, 
  much 
  removed 
  

   from 
  the 
  elytra 
  ; 
  the 
  latter 
  short, 
  shining, 
  covered 
  with 
  series 
  of 
  

   closely-placed 
  punctures, 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  minute 
  punctures 
  on 
  the 
  

   small 
  interstices. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  the 
  smallest 
  Anthribid 
  discovered, 
  except 
  

   A. 
  atomus, 
  Sharp. 
  It 
  greatly 
  resembles 
  A. 
  infiatus, 
  

   Shp., 
  from 
  New 
  Zealand, 
  but 
  that 
  species 
  has 
  coarsely 
  

   facetted 
  eyes, 
  and 
  the 
  ante-coxal 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  pro- 
  

   sternum 
  no 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  post-coxal 
  portion.

  near 
  Nagasaki.
