592 Mr. Pascoe's descriptions of Curculionida?. 



Oblong-ovate, less convex above, black, partially clothed "witli 

 greenish scales, and speckled with black granules ; rostrum 

 short, stout; scrobe large, extending nearly to the eye; antennae 

 moderate; third joint of the funicle a little longer than the others, 

 which are subequal in length; prothorax above equal in length 

 and breadth, punctured, the intervals granulate ; elytra rather 

 depressed, broadest at the middle, suddenly compressed towards 

 the apex, irregularly granulate, each above the compressed ]ior- 

 tion with an area of fewer graniiles — hence a pale spot, which, 

 in certain lights, has the appearance of a callosity ; beneath and 

 base of the femora closely covered with glaucous green scales, 

 anterior tibiae slightly denticidated. 



Allied to /. scabratus, from which, inter alia, the depressed 

 and irregulaidy granulate elytra will readily distinguish it. 



Isoinerinthus scaposus. 



I. oblongo-ovatus, niger, albo-lineatus ; prothorace rotuudato; 

 scapo antennarum compresso, basi subito truncate. Long.

Oblong-ovate, black, varied with lines of snow-white scales; 

 rostrum somewhat slender, white ; scape of the antennas com-

 subequal; prothorax somewhat globose, coarsely granulate, four 

 stripes at the base and anterior border, white ; elytra lineately 

 punctured, the intervals finely granulate, two stripes on each 

 elytron, connected by a transverse band behind, and a stripe at 

 the apex, white ; body beneath and legs with scattered white 

 scales. 



The peculiar character of the scape will at once distiugiush 

 this species; it is allied to /. albolineatus C^iuer.). 



Apocyrtns castuneus. 



A. oblongo-ovatus, glaber, castaueus, geniculis tarsisque
