NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXXIX. 1936. "'^ THE ANTHRIBIDAE OF
MAURITIUS. By dr. KARL JORDAN, F.R.S. (With 13 text-figures.)
EARLY in 1935 I received from Mr. Jean Vinson, Mauritius, a
collection of Anthribidae obtained in recent years by himself,
Mr. Ray. Mamet and Mr. G. Morin at various places on Mauritius.
The collection was most welcome, as only a few species were
known from that island. Of the six species described from
Mauritius I have seen the types of Tropideres lessellatu-s
Bohem. 1859 and Caranistes variegatus Bohem. 1859, which Dr. 0.
Lundbeck kindly sent me for inspection, the type oiDimphrni^
mauritius Jord. 1924 is at Tring, and the remain-ing three
species I have identified from the descriptions. As explained
hereafter, D. mauritius is the same as D. dorsatus Fairm. 1901,
and Apolecta filicomis Fairm. 1903 the same as Caranistes
variegatus, while Eucorynus clavator Fairm. 1903 is identical
mth the common Oriental Eucorynus crassicornis Fabr. 1801. In
1914 I recorded Phloeobius gigas cervinus Klug 18
