This interesting new species is allied to C. plalycephalus, Hope 

 (vid. Westw. Or. Ent. p. 17, pi. viii. fig. 2), but is abundantly 

 distinct; it differs in the form of its mandibles (which in C. pla- 

 lycephalus are of a peculiar structure, and described by Professor 

 Westwood as being short and palmated), and in its elongate nar- 

 row elytra, which are also more strongly punctured. The ?, as 

 in C. plalycephalus, is of a darker colour than the $, and, com- 

 pared with the same sex of that species, presents the following 

 differences : the head is broader, with the vertex depressed, more 

 sparsely punctuate, the angle in front of the eye more produced, 

 the two nodose elevations on the centre being entirely wanting; 

 the prothorax is also wider and less punctate, and the elytra longer 

 and less convex. The Rev. F, W. Hope in his Catalogue refers 

 C. plalycephalus to his suh-genus Cyclophlhalnnis ; Mr. Thomson 

 has, however, appropriately made it the type of his new genus 

 Cyclorasis, whereof we are now acquainted with three distinct 

 species. The above insect originally formed part of Mr. J. C. 

 Bowring's rich collection, and has been named after M. Jekel, 

 the well known author of a Catalogue of the Curculionidce. 



Cyclorasis suBNiTENS $ , Parry ( ? ignota), Proc. Ent. Soc.

C. glaberripnus, cinnamoraeus, minute punctulatus; mandibulis 

 brevibus, subrecurvis, intus obtuse 6 vel 7-denticulatis, api- 

 cibus subfurcatis ; capite supra oculos angulato. 



Long. corp. (mandib. incl.) lin. 9. 



Hab. Ind. Or. Coll. Parry. 



Of an elongate form, the elytra being much longer than the 

 head, thorax and mandibles taken together; shining, of a polished 

 cinnamon brown, with a faint brassy tinge. Mandibles short, 

 recurved, forked at the tip with from 6 to 7 minute teeth on the 

 inner edge. Head, thorax and elytra minutely punctured, lateral 

 margins of prothorax slightly reflexed ; scutellum blackish-brown. 

 'J'ibia; of fore legs crenulated externally, the four posterior un- 

 armed. 



Allied to C. plalycephalus, but differs in tlie form of the man- 

 dibles, and in the anterior angles of the head being much less 

 acute. The elytra are also narrower and more elongate.
