Hah. Sumatra, Beccari (Sumatra, Java, Wallace). 



A narrow form strongly sculptured, the depi-essed portions 

 furnished with curved tawny seta?, giving the insect a dull- 

 brownish aspect. The character of a « pubescent club » given 

 by Lacordaire in his key, is not repeated in the generic de- 

 scription and is not to be, depended on. The real difterence bet- 

 ween Aclees and Hylobius appears to me to be that in the 

 former the club is apparently only two-jointed, while it is at 

 least three-jointed in the latter. The type of Curculio, L., if 

 LinnaBus can be said to have any idea of types, should not be 

 Hylobius, as given in the Munich Catalogue, but Cleonus nebu- 

 losus, for which it was kept, by Fabricius and Germar, cf. Crotch, 

 Trans. Ent. Soc. 1870, p. 43. 



96. H. crassirostris , n. sp. Robustus , niger nitidus, setulis giu'seia 

 omnino adspcrsus; rostrum validum, rude punctatum, carinis baud deter- 

 minatis; clava antennarnm ovata, tomentosa; protborax subtransversus , 

 confertim punctatus; scutellum apice late rotundatum; elytra uti-inque fere 

 parallela, j)unctata ut in prsecedenti, sed punctis minor ibus, apicem versus 

 callosa, apice ipso rotundata; femora infra dentata; tibiie obsolete bisi- 

 uuatae. Long. 14 mm. 



Hab. Fly River, L. M. D'Albertis. 



A dull-looking species like the preceding, but in one of the 

 specimens before me there are faint traces of two fascia3 on 

 the sides of each elytron.
