Underside testaceous, scantily pubescent, finely and irregularly punctate, 

 the metasternum and front of basal ventral segment finely transversely 

 rugose ; the 1st and 2nd segments medially impressed, the former behind, 

 the latter in front. 



Alhed to A. fulvipes (803), without nigrescent marks, and well differenti- 

 ated by the structure of the prosternum, which is depressed but not 

 canahculate before the coxae, and with the apical emargination finely 

 spinose at each side. 



cj. Length (rostrum inclusive), 3| mm. ; breadth, 1| mm. 



Mount Quoin. A pair from Mr. O'Connor. 



3298, Eugnomus calvulus sp. nov. Eugaomus Schoenherr, Man. N.Z. 



Coleopt., p. 458. 



Nitid, rufo-castaneous, nearly glabrous, there being only a few incon- 

 spicuous slender greyish setae above, and some stouter and darker ones 

 near the sides. 



Rostrum rather longer than thorax, closely punctured, subcarinate 

 along the middle, its apical portion a little dilated and nearly smooth. 

 Head broadly impressed between the moderately prominent eyes. Thorax 

 widest at the base, moderately narrowed near the smooth apical margin, 

 its length and breadth about equal, the punctation close and distinct, 

 shghtly coarser than that of the head. Scutellum oblong. Elytra mani- 

 festly broader than thorax at the base, with shghtly elevated obtuse 

 shoulders, a good deal narrowed posteriorly ; they are distinctly punctate- 

 striate, the discoidal interstices are plane, more or less rugose, and bear 

 some minute granules, which are most easily seen on the shoulders. 



Underside rufous, finely punctate, with some slender grey hairs. Basal 

 ventral segment largest, strongly curved between the coxae, broadly im- 

 pressed along the middle ; 3rd and 4th, singly, evidently shorter than 2nd ; 

 5th with a large median fovea. 



Scape slender, thicker near the extremity ; 2nd joint of funiculus as long 

 as the 1st, 3rd also elongate, 7th not at all larger than 6th ; club elongate- 

 oval. Femora finely pubescent, the anterior moderately, the posterior 

 strongly, angulate and toothed below. 



In form somewhat similar to E. picipennis ; the eyes less approximated 

 and IcvSs prominent, the thorax shorter, and the whole sculpture different. 



Length (rostrum exclusive), 4 J mm. ; breadth, If mm. 



Mount Greenland. One good specimen, and another in fragments, from 

 Mr. O'Connor, from Mr. Hamilton's collection. 



3299. Eugnomus dennanensis sp, nov. 



Derm fusco-rufous, sometimes nearly piceous ; covered with flavescent 

 hairs, which, on the head and thorax, are disposed transversely ; the 

 scutellum and a spot in front of it bear small yellowish scales ; in line 

 with the hind thighs there is an irregular fuscous fascia, but the posterior 

 declivity is clothed with depressed elongate pale - yellow, or in some 

 examples greyish, squamae ; legs and antennae rufo-castaneous. 



Rostrum shghtly longer than thorax, cylindrical, a little dilated near 

 the extremity, its sculpture rather shallow and indefinite. Head distinctly 

 and closely punctured, depressed between the eyes. Thorax nearly a third 

 broader than long, much narrower in front than behind, distinctly and 

 closely punctate. Scutellum elongate and conspicuous. Elytra a good
