distinct species , I cannot say with certainty ; but it seems 

 to me more probal>le that they belong to transiens, as there 

 occur often differences in structure between larger and smaller 

 specimens of the same species in the family of Anthribidae. 



13. Acorynus sulcirostris ( 1833), Bohemann, in Schonli. Gen. 

 Cure. I, }). l!24, n. 7 (.lava). 



A single specimen (c/") from Mentawei (Modigliani) differs 

 from .Javan specimens of siilcirostris in the median carina of 

 the front of the head being higher, in the black line within the 

 luteous lateral area of the prothorax being broader and longer, 

 and in the short grey lines of the elytra not being separated 

 into dots. As Javan siUciroslris vary somewhat in these characters, 

 the Mentawei specimen is most probably not specifically, but 

 perhaps subspecifically, distinct.
