 hrevis, squamis silaceis griseisque varius ; rostro prothorace breviore ;

 . Tairua (Capt. Broun). 



Varies considerably in size and also in colouration.

 oblongHs, fuscus, squamis griseis tectus ; rostro prothorace vix breviore ; 

 antennis ferrugineis; funiculo articulo secundo quam primo breviore, 

 clava oblongo-ovata ; prothoi-ace valde transverso, antice fortiter con-

Long., 2j hn. 



Tairua (Capt. Broun). 



Differs from the last in being longer, and the femora being grooved 

 beneath for the reception of the tibise. In some examples there are, 

 owing to the dense squamosity, two pale oblique spots at the sides of 

 the elytra. 



Crisius. 



Pascoe ; Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., July, 1876. 



Rostrum modice elongatum, arcuatum ; scrobes prgemedianse, rectse. 

 Antennie tenues, funiculo articulo secundo elongato. Prothorax conicus, 

 apice productus. Elytra subcordata, basi quam prothorace multo 

 latiora. Eemora clavata, infra dentata ; tibice rectje, posticie extus 

 arcuatse ; tarsi articulo penultimo late bilobo. Pima pectoralis ad coxas 

 intermedias postice extensa. 



This is obviously an Acalles form ; but the elytra greatly exceeding 

 the prothorax in breadth, and other characters, will not allow it to be 

 referred to any known genus.
