350 Mr. Kiuby's Descriptions of 



dium rostro insidentes : clavd albido-villosii. Oculi ad- 



modum magni, subprominuli. 

 Tk UNCUS teretiusculus, medio paul6 latior, confluenter 



punctatus, lineoli obsoletiori ante scutellum impressus. 



Coleoptra ex globoso obovata, sulcata : sulcis interstitiis 



ipsis latioribus, concinnfe et impress^ punctatis. 

 This species may be placed after A. ebeninum {Linn. Trans, ix. 

 55. 34.) to which it is allied. It differs from it not only in size, 

 being very much smaller, but the rostrum also is shorter and 

 thicker, the trunk is of a different shape, rough with confluent 

 points, and exhibiting a very faint trace of an impressed line or 

 point at the scutellum. From A. brevirostre, {Linn. Trans, ix. 68. 

 51.) which it also somewhat resembles, it is sufficiently and indeed 

 strikingly distinguished by the unusual width of the furrows of 

 the elytra, and their very narrow ridge-like interstices. Mr. 

 Sheppard informs me that it runs uncommonly fast for an insect 

 of this genus. Mr. George Sowerby has also taken it, who gave 

 me my specimens.
