middle, shoulders feebly rounded, posterior declivity at its summit 

 on 3rd interstice with conical tubercle. Femoi'a reaching or 

 passing middle of declivity; tarsi strongly bilobed. 



This division is intermediate between antiquus and Westwoodi^ 



Prothoracic carina and tubercles feeble. Tubercles of 

 declivity more than thrice as large as any of the 

 others, feebly compressed ; apex with two distinct 

 tubercles swrnsus, Erichs. 



Prothorax with median carina fully half its length, trans- 

 verse tubercles distinct. Elytra with tubercles of 

 declivity lai-ge, thick, scarcely twice as large as those 

 on the 5th interstices a little behind them; apex obso- 

 letely tuberculate. Fen)ora almost reaching apex of 

 elytra cornis, n.sip. 



PoROPTERUS succisus, Erichs.; Mast. Cat. Sp. No. 5551. 



(Cryptorrhynchus, Er.): P. succosus, Bohem.; No. 5441. 



Densely clothed with minute muddy-brown scales, more distinct 

 on prothorax and sides of elytra, tubercles more or less naked, 

 under surface with elongate paler scales, legs with dense elongate 

 scales; head feebly clothed, rostrum still more feebly, the scales 

 darker and sparser. Ciliation very minute, bright silvery. 



Convex, subcylindric, tubercles mostly small. Head and 

 rostrum densely punctate ; ocular fovea small, deep, usually con- 

 cealed; eyes rather coarsely granulate; rostrum curved, subparallel, 

 muzzle feebly widened to apex; antennse elongate, scape inserted 

 a little less than one-thii'd from apex in (J, about half in 9, a 

 little less than half its length passing muzzle; first joint of funicle 

 distinctly longer than 2nd, 2nd not as long as three following com- 

 bined; club free, distinctly four-jointed. Prothorax a trifle longer 

 than wide ; apex feebly produced, rounded, more than half the 

 width of base ; constriction feeble, and very feebly continued 

 across summit; ocular lobes rounded; sides rounded; base trun- 

 cate ; median carina short, feeble, but moderately distinct ; a 

 transverse roAv of four rather feeble tubercles, behind them 

 densely, in front more sparsely granulate. Scutellum very small. 

 Elytra more than twice the length of prothorax and at its base as
