 truncate and not piolonoed j its surface distinctly but not very closely 

 punctui-ed. Klytia hardly at all broader tlian tliorax at the l)ase, cordi-

 sparingly ami iinely setose, its basal two joints elono;ate and, together, 

 about lialf of the wiiole length, 3-7 moniliforni, the last scarcely trans-

 Ocular lobes obsolete. Legs thickly squamose. 



The first portion of the diagnosis will lead to its lecognition. It is 

 placed in my cabinet in Section 1 of tlie genus, along witli Nos. 872, 

 873, and 21 f 3 to 2177. 



Length (rostrum exclusive), 4mm.; bieadlli, 2^nim.

 whieli was collected for me in March, l!)ll, by Mr. Frank Flynn, after 

 whom it has been nanu-d. 



3454. Acalles notoporhinus sp. nov. 



Subovate. piceous, antennae an<l taisi fusco-rufous ; tliickly covered 

 with infuscate s(|uamae, those along tlie middle of tlie rosti-um and 

 elytra of a l)rightci- and paler hue than the others; the erect s(]uamiform 

 setae are slioi-t and iriegularly distriljuted, but are nKuv conspicuous 

 on the legs and the front and sides of the thoi'ax. 



nostrum arched, parallel, almost as hmg as the tliorax, densely 

 s(pianiose except just at the apex; it is I'vidently convex along the 

 middle, and ends as a definite ridge at the flattened space between the 

 eves, which are rounded behind l)ut acuminate in front. Thorax a 

 fourth l)i'oadei' than long, its basal half with nearly straight sides, the 

 frontal is distinctly but not wry abruptly narrowed, and rather more 

 depressed ; it is apparently closely and coarsely punctured, and has a 

 slight ridge along the centre of the basal half; the base is somewhat 

 bisinuate, and the scales close to the sides aie much darker than those 

 on the disc. Elytra twice the length of tlunax and of the same width 

 at the base, slightly wider ni'ar the hind thighs, niui'h nairowcd and 

 neaidy vertical l»ehiml, and on a higher k'vel than the thorax; they are 

 ratiier coarsely subseriate-punctate and somewhat uneven, having a ]>aii' 

 of distant, moderate crests on top of the apical declivity, and irregulai- 

 elevations on the 3i(l and oth interstices. 



Sca]ic medially insei'ted, just attaining the eye, not slendei-, very
