granules; second almost obsolete, with one or two small elongate 

 tubercles; third prominent, subcostate to declivity, the costa 

 consisting of a contiguous row of elongate tubercles, with two or 

 three subconical tubercles on the declivity; fourth obsolete; fifth 

 and sixth each with a continuous row of small tubercles placed 

 close together, giving interstices a costiform appearance, less 

 elongate and more conical posteriorly. Apical ventral segment 

 with a shallow, median, longitudinal channel. Anterior femora

 rostral carinse, but not deHnitely raised. Rostrum with external 

 ridges setigero-punctate, slightly thickened at base; median 

 carina prominent, as broad as the external ridges, not setigerous; 

 sublateral sulci rather narrow, deep at base, becoming shallow 

 anteriorly. Prothorax (4x5 mm.) moderately strongly rounded 

 on sides, widest in front of middle; ocular lobes prominent; sub- 

 apical impression moderately distinct, median impression well 

 marked posteriorly ; disc closely set with small setigerous 

 granules, obsolescent and slightly confluent towards the centre,
