 2) Revision of the Australian Curculionidae belonging to the Subfamily 

 Cryptorhynchides. Part viii. By Arthur M. Lea, F. E. S. In this contri- 

 bution the revision of the genera allied to Gryptorliyncims is continued. 

 These may be regarded as forming several closely allied sections, Crypto- 

 rhynchus and Tyrtacosus with several close allies forming one; Perissops and 

 its many close allies forming another; Protojjcdus with its allies forming a 

 third, and this the most distinct section ^. Aonychus and Mccistoccrus, although 

 at a glance widely separated (and actually placed in different groups by 

 M. Lacordaire), are closely allied, on account of a supplementary pro- 

 sternal process (which appears to denote an approach to Caniptorrhinus), with 

 them may be doubtfully placed Berosiris and Microberosiris] Iriialithus, Para- 

 tituacia and Sympediosoma lead off to and might fairly be claimed as belonging 

 to the Ghaetedetorus group ; Nechyrus might be regarded as belonging to the 

 Poropterus group.

1 Protopalus and its allies have been regarded as forming a very distinct and 

 isolated section, Ijut there are several genera that clearly lead up to it from Perissops.
