360 cuRcrLioNiD.i:. 



bristle; femora rather strongly clavate, with a sharp spine-like 

 tooth beyond the middle; the tibiae with a short perpendicular 

 niucro at the inner apical angle, the hind pair with the corbels 

 open and terminal ; the tarsi as in Myllocerus. 

 Range. Assam. 



342. Holorrhynchiis integrirostris, sp. nov. 



Red-brown, with dense earthy-grey scaling, the elytra with 

 irregular and variable dark brown patches. 



Head with the eyes lateral and moderately convex, tlie forehead 

 flattened, its width greater than the length of the eye, the sculp- 

 ture concealed. Bostnun evidently longer than the head, as long 

 as broad, the sides subparallel in the basal half, dilated at the 

 apex ; the space between the scrobes much narrower than the 

 forehead, the median dorsal area evidently dilated from there to 

 the base, its sides costate, with a broad central furrow, the sculp- 

 ture hidden by the scaling, except for an abbreviated central 

 carina at the apex. Anteance testaceous brown, the scape fairlv 

 strongly curved and with erect spatulate setae ; the basal joint of the 

 funicle stouter but scarcely longer than the second, joints 3 and 4 

 subequal, the i*emainder slightly longer tlian broad. Protliorax 

 about as long as broad, the sides moderately rounded, broadest 

 about the middle, the subapical constriction shallow, the basal 

 margin shallowly bisinuate and broader than the apical, which is 

 oblique at the sides ; the dorsal surface with traces of coarse 

 punctation showing through the dense scaling, and with a shallow 

 longitudinal impression on each side in tlie basal half. Eh/tnt 

 separately rounded at the base, the shoulders roundly subrec- 

 tangular, the sides somewhat dilated behind the middle ( $ ?) ; the 

 striae shallow, with rather remote punctures which are scarcely 

 perceptible through the scaling, the intervals slightly convex, with 

 rows of cm-ved and very broadly spatulate setae. Legs testaceous 

 brown, with dense grey scaling and broad raised setae, the middle 

 tibiae slightly curved. 



Length, 2k-3 mm. ; breadth, l-l^ mm. 



Assam : Mazbat, Mangaldai dist. (S. W. Kemp — Ind. Mus.). 



Type in the Indian Museum. 



In general facies this species is not unlike MyUocerus hlandus, 

 Fst., but apart from the non-emarginate rostrum and the four 

 setae on the mentum, it may be at once distinguished by its much 

 longer rostrum and narrower prothorax.
