Mr. Pascok's descriptions of Curculionidii}. 597 



Apoderus verrncosns, 



A. ( 9 ) rufo-briuuieus; elytris tuberculis uitide ilavidis niuuo- 

 rusis oruatis; femoribus muticis. Long. 3|- lin, 

 llab. Laos. 



Keddisli-browu, the elytra with uunierous smooth yellowish or 

 amber-coloured tubercles; rostrum very short, broad; antenna; 

 short, inserted nearer the base than the apex, rather Avidely 

 apart, the terminal joints of the funicle transverse, club stout, 

 pu.bescent, nearly obsoletely jointed ; head sharply constricted 

 behind, but not prolonged ; prothorax conical, broader than 

 long, strongly grooved both at the apex and base, the disc con- 

 vex and having a deep longitudinal groove; elytra subquadrate, 

 coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices strongly raised and 

 more or less spotted with yellow lines and tubercles, the inter- 

 vals between the punctures granuliforni ; legs smooth ; spurs of 

 the tibias and claws black. 



For the tubercles on the elytra this species may be approxi- 

 mated to A. flaootuherosns, Jek., but they are more numerous 

 and difPei'eutly placed: in form it is allied to ^4. Tranqueharicus. 



Anletes major. 



A. omnino rufo-castaneus, pilis tenuissimis griseis adspersus; 

 rostro elongato; clava antennarum laxe articulata. Long. 5-5^ 

 lin. (rostr. inch). 



llab. Andaman Islands. 



lleddish-chesnut with numerous very slender grey hairs; 

 rostrum as long as the elytra, finely punctured, gi-ooved at the 

 base behind the insertion of the antennae, the latter extending 

 to the apex of the rostrum, the club very loose, of three joints, 

 the first two obconic, the third ovate ; prothorax rather longer 

 than broad, rounded at the sides, irregularly punctured, the 

 intervals slightly corrugated ; .scutellum small, triangular ; elytra 

 a little depressed, punctate-substriate; tibiae slender, .straight; 

 abdomen with the second segment longer than the first. 



Except tliat the rostrum is nearly as long in proportion in 

 A. Jilicornis, this very distinct species is not to be compared to 

 any of its congeners.
