and lateral margins. Sternites 3-5 in $ broad, 6-8 verj' narrow, all sliglitly 

 bnt nnifdrmly cliitinised. Ilypopygiiun of J rather small ; claspers not 

 enlarged, slightly curved and tapering, a litile over twice as long as their 

 breadth at the base, with a single subterniinal spine mixed with some hair ; 

 side pieces without patch of bristles at their ventral junction. Lamellae of J 

 2-segmented, first segment roundish, second narrower and rather elongate- 

 ovnl, Leys dark brownish, coxae and femora rather lighter. Hind coxae 

 short, together with the trochanters less than two-thirds as long as the f-^mora. 

 Front and middle femora sumeAvhat thicliened. Tibiae without definite combs ; 

 spurs very shojt, considerably shorter than the diameter of the tibia. On the 

 hind leg-s the proportions of the tibia and tarsal segments are roughlj' 

 48 : 22 : 10 : 7 : : 7.' Empodia minute; pxilvilli not distinguishable; claws 

 simple. [Vimjs alike iu the two. sexes, slightlj' greyish-tinged; costal and 

 radial veins dark and strong ; media and cubitus devoid of macrotrichia, rather 

 thin and faint, especially the stem of M, Hi ending in costa far before the 

 base of cell Mi ; i?i shorter than H ; costa extending about three-fourths of 

 the distance between the tips of lis and Mi ; the horizontal r-m a little longer 

 than the vertical portion of lis ; median fork shorter than its stem, its branches 

 slightly divergent apically ; tip of iI/2 considerably nearer the ^^ ing-tip than id 

 the tip of Hs. Cubital fork with a very short stem, which is rather difficult to 

 detect owing to the fact that the base of Cu-i is fainter than An, which latter 

 vein approximates to Cu2 and actually seems to unite with it distally, so that 

 at first sight it appears to be the base of Cu.2, and suggests the condition 

 which occurs iu Pnyxia, where Cih is quite separate from Cui. Anal angle 

 of wing only slightly indicated. Halteres with the knobs dark. 



Length of wing, 1'2-1*5 mm.; length of body, S, 1-1"3 mm.; J, 

 1-5-1 -8 mm.

T/te synonymy and distribution of Pantomorus godmani Crotch, a cosmo- 

 politan jveevil attacking roses, greenhouse plants, etc. — Mons. A. Mustache 

 (Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1922, pp. 100, 101) has recently called attention to tliis 

 destructive Otiorrhynchid-beetle, and correctly uses the name Pantomorus 

 godmani Crotch for it. The Fayal types agree perfectly with N. American 

 ex&oi^les of P. (Aramigus) fullt^ri Horn. Like Otiorrhynchus sulcatus F, ai\d 

 O. scabrosus Marsh., both of which have also been introduced into the Azores, 

 it seems to be gradually spreading into widely distant regions, but is certainly 

 of American origin, the allied species being numerous in Tropical America. 

 P. godmani appears to have been first described by Crotch, from specimens 

 captured in the Azores in 1866, unless the Chilean Nanpaclus suhvittatus 

 Fairm. et Germain (1861) is synonymous with it. The localities gTven by 

 liustache are as follows : — California, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Hawaiian Islands, 

 Azores, Portugal, and Sicily. Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell met with it in Madeira 

 during the past winter. The species is widely distributed-in the United States, 

 and is known there as " Fuller's rose-beetle." It is stated to attack roses,
