the rostnim itself being nearly one incli long, stout, slightly curved, and 

 hirsute beneath. It has, too, very long legs. The supposed female is a 

 much less remarkable creature. 



Angianus, gen. nov. 



S'Tohis linearis, rectus, elomjatns, hand profimdus. Antennae sat elonf/nfae, 

 scapo subrecto, funiculu 1 -articulator clava gracili, acuminata, triarticulata, 

 suturis discretis. Unguiculi elom/ati, liheri. 



Angianus pratti, sp. n. 



(j' . Niger, thorace inuequali, rugoso, elytris acute costatis, inter castas 

 regulariter transversim rugosis. Fedihus elongatis, fenioribiis tuberculo minuto, 

 anteriorum coxihus spina elongata. Long, corporis cum capite 40 mm., rostri 

 19 tnm. 



Rostrum moderately thick, regularly hut not greatly curved, dull, densely 

 rngose, flattened at the sides, underneath densely tuberculate and liirsute ; 

 scrobes straight, rather deep in front, but shallow behind, and becoming 

 indefinite just before reaching the eye. Front of gular pedancle deflexed and 

 prominent. Antennae inserted very near the apex of the rostrum, strongly 

 elbowed, scape about 11 mm. long, not reaching the eye, funiele (including the 

 7th joint) 7 mm.: the 7th joint is elongate and really forms part of the club, 

 but its pubescence, which is whitish, distinguishes it therefrom, the true club 

 is quite narrow, and is acuminate ; the 2nd joint of the funiele is long, much 

 longer than the 1st or the 3rd. Eyes separated from thorax by a distinct 

 space, making their convexity conspicuous, very widely separated beneath, 

 moderately distant above. Prothorax 10 mm, long, 10 broad, strongly con- 

 stricted in front, with large shallow depressed spaces along the middle, at the 

 sides verj' coarsely rugose; no ocular lobes and only a slight emargination of 

 the middle beneath. Scutellum rather large, its tip peculiarly raised. Elytra 

 about 25 mm. long, and 13 broad at the prominent shoulders ; each with four 

 costae, besides the suture, which is also i-aised in a costiform manner ; the 

 sculpture between these costae is of a very peculiar nature, and may be 

 described as consisting of two series of punctures, each puncture being greatly 

 expanded, so that the intervals are reduced to transverse ridges, the points of 

 which reach those of the second series ; a few very small pallid scales can be 

 detected on careful examination. 



Front coxae each bearing a long, slightly curved spine, and each femur a 

 small pointed tubercle. Hind femur 12^ mm. long, the tibia slightly shorter. 

 All tibiae with a sharp mucro. 



There are a few scattered pallid scales on the under surface ; the meso- 

 sternum slopes gently in front. The tarsi are rather long, spongy beneath, 

 3rd joint bilobed, claw-joint long. 



The abdomen is 14 mm. long, 1st segment nearly 5 along the middle, 

 2nd 3, 3rd 2, 4th 1|, 5th 2|. Dorsal plates black, but not hard. 



The wings are ample.
