xlvii, 1903, p. 100. 
Beneath blackish; head, basal joints of antennae, thorax and 
legs flavous ; elytra fuscous. 
Head finely and sparingly punctured and pubescent, vertex 
sometimes obscure piceous ; clvpeus not separated from the face, 
anterior portion deflexed, margin concave at middle ; penultimate 
jo nt of maxillary palpi incrassate; antennae black, nearly as long 
as the body, basal four joints flavous, third and following joints 
elongate, equal. Thorax subquadrate, disc obliquely sulcate near 
the base at each side, finely and sparingly punctured, ciothed with 
pale flavous hairs ; near the anterior margin there is another 
transverse obsolete depression. Elytra much wider at base than 
the thorax, very finely and closely punctured, clothed with longish 
pale hairs. Legs slender, unarmed. Prosternum very narrow. 
Length 3 mm.

717. Xanthophorus balyi, Jac. (Nephrella) Atm. Soc. Ent. Bely, xlvii, 
1903, p. 101. 
Obscure fulvous or fuscous ; apical joints of antennae black ; 
elytra with long grey pubescence. 
Oblong, rather broad. Head rather strongly and remotely 
punctured ; clypeus subquadrate ; eves oblong, slightly sinuate ; 
antennae slender, black, basal four joints fulvous, third slightly 
shorter than the fourth, apical two shorter than all the preceding 
joints. Thorax about half as broad again as long, surface very 
finely and closely punctured and finely pubescent, a transverse 
sulcus near the base almost extending across the disc. Scutellum

Pale fulvous; apical joints of antennm piceous; elytra closely 
pubescent. 
Head not perceptibly punctured, sparingly pubescent ; antennae 
long, pale fulvous, third joint only slightly longer than second, 
shorter than fourth, terminal four rather thickened and shorter

punctured than in most other species of the genus.

The thorax in this species has no regular sulcus as usual, but
