Dunedin. Fin., rare; Jan. 20 Oct. 31. Enterprise, Oct.; Xew

 in front, feebly narrowed behind, feebly constricted near the tip, which is 

 broadly rounded, coarsely and confluently punctured. Elytra scarcely 

 wider than thorax, subcylindrical, base truncate, hunieri rounded; strife

812 (- -). CRYPTORHYNCHUS SCIIWARZI sp. nov. 



Elongate-subcylindrical. Blackish-brown, elytra with scattered patches 

 of silvery-gray scales which, at apical third, are condensed to form a broad 

 irregular cross-bar; antennas and tarsi reddish-brown. Beak as described 

 in key, minutely and sparsely punctate. Head naked, finely and densely 

 punctate. Thorax as wide at middle as long, narrower at base and toward 

 apex, disc not constricted, densely and rather finely punctate, each punc- 

 ture bearing a minute brown scale, the intervals between the punctures 

 forming fine oblique ridges. Elytra but. slightly wider at base than middle 

 of thorax, humeri distinct, rounded: sides parallel for three-fourths their 

 length, then feebly converging to the rounded apex; striae with rows of 

 coarse, oblong, rather distant punctures; intervals feebly convex, not setose. 

 Under surface coarsely, rather sparsely punctate. Front femora strongly 

 angulated beneath near apex. Length 4.2 4.5 mm. (W. 8. B.)
