. Annali del Museo civico di storia naturale Giacomo Doria. Natural history. ANTHRIBIDAE 55 praecedentibus simul sumptis longitudine aequali sed latiore. Carina dorsali pronoti basi approximata fere recta laevissime concava, carina laterali panini concava. Scutelluin subtriangulare. Elytra sat longa cylindrica. Pygìdium triangulare. Long. 2,4 mm., lat. 1,1 mm. Hab. Fernando Po: one 9 : Punta Frailes, X-XI. 1901. The smallest species known to me. The head and base of the rostrum are convex; the grey pubescence of head and rostrum is evenly dispersed, not forming spots or patches. Occiput with a brown spot each side. The three segments of the club of the antenna measure: 3 and 3 and 6 in lengths and 3 and 4 and 4 and 2 in width (cf. text-fig. 3). Pronotum with brown cordiform median patch divided by a grey line, at the apex two ill-defined brown spots and another, rounded, at the side. Dorsal carina very slightly and very evenly concave, almost straight, with a faint indication of a forward bent in the centre, the carina placed close to the basal margin, but yet separate from it and not touching the base of the elytra; lateral carina distinctly though feeblv concave above; the angle of the carina rather more than 90°, with the apex rounded. Scutellum slanting with an angle of about 4o°, rounded-trian gular, the apex being slightly but visibly -pointed. Elytra elongate, like the rest of the upper surface pubescent grey, the pubescence not very dense; at the base near the scu- tellum, but separated from it, a brown patch, a larger one across the suture in the middle, and a third on the apical declivity of each elytrum, all ill-defined, a few additional brown spots or indications of spots between the larger patches. Pygidium trian- gular, grey, the tip rounded off and turned up. Underside and legs pubescent grey; bases of the abdominal segments without grey scale-hairs, appearing therefore rufous. 22. ventrali»,. Jord. (1920). Fernando Po, one 9 : Bahi
