arrangement. Prothorax with small round and dense, but nor- 

 mally concealed punctures. Elytra about one - third wider than 

 prothorax; with rows of large and rugose , but partially con- 

 cealed punctures ; interstices with numerous small, but in places 

 concealed , granules , and feebly tuberculate beneath fascicles. 

 Femora unidentate, front tibiae feebly bisinuate. Length 4^/3 — 5 mm.

The white, or whitish, scales are rather large and rounded, 

 and are dense on and usually cover almost the whole of the 

 prothorax, except the space between the fascicles ; but they are 

 sometimes stained with ochreous behind these. On the elytra they 

 are dense at the base and irregularly clothe the apical two-fifths ; 

 here, however, sometimes being interrrupted by feeble transverse 

 stripes of darker scales. On the under surface and legs they 

 are rather dense, but stained with ochreous on the sides of the 

 sterna. The scales on the head and base of rostrum vary from 

 dingy white to ochreous. There are four distinct but small 

 fascicles on the prothorax, usually but not always, composed of 

 black scales. On each elytron there are six black fascicles ; 

 three on the third interstice, of which the median one is largest^ 

 and three on the fifth , of which , however, only the median one 

 is always present, the others, anti especially the apical one, being 

 very feeble , or altogether absent ; there is also a rather large 

 fascicle , common to both , behind the scutellum. One specimen 

 has the elytra and legs of a reddish brown. 



In build somewhat resembling fasciculatus, except that it is 

 narrower, and the fascicles somewhat similarly disposed, although 

 of smaller size ; but the femora are unidentate. The clothing 

 apparently is much as in occipitalis, but that species is described 

 as having the front femora unarmed.

Reddish brown , in places vaguely stained with piceous ; 

 muzzle club and tibial hooks blackish. Prothorax with whitish 

 scales forming feeble oblique stripes on the sides, and irregulär 

 elsewhere. Elytra with white scales at base and forming a mo- 

 derately distinct fascia across middle , a feeble fascia between 

 this and apex , and irregulär at apex. ünder surface and legs 

 with whitish scales. Head with dark indistinct scales in middle, 

 and feeble whitish ones on sides , as also on sides of rostrum. 

 A black velvety spot, mostly behind, but partly on scutellum. 



Rostrum rather lightly curved. In male the length of pro-
