Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new Genera of Curculionide. 417 
Antenne breviuscule, in medio rostri inserte ; scapo pyriformi, oculos 
attingente ; fwuculo 7-articulato, art. primo brevi, secundo elongato, 
obconico, reliquis brevissimis, gradatim latioribus, 7° clava adnexo ; 
clava brevissima. Prothorax longitudine paulo latior, ampliatus, con- 
vexus, «equalis, lateribus et angulis posticis rotundatus, basi truncatus, 
apice angustatus, lobis ocularibus haud productis. Sewtellum nullum. 
Elytra ovata, prothoracis basi parum latiora, humeris haud prominulis. 
Pedes breviusculi; femoribus incrassatis, muticis; tbs extrorsum 
latioribus, anticis intus dente obtuso armatis; tars’s inequalibus, 
anticis brevissimis, art. tertio dilatato, bilobo, ultimo ceteris sumptis 
eequali ; intermediis longiusculis modice dilatatis ; posticis breviusculis, 
art. tertio integro, preecedentibus angustiore ; wegwibus liberis. -Abdo- 
men segmentis duobus basalibus maximis, sutura inter eos obsoleta. 
Corpus glabrum. 
In habit resembling some species of Helops or, among the Curcu- 
lionidee, of Baris, Germ. It has some of the general characters of 
Iphipus*, such as the form of the antenne, prothorax, and elytra, 
but is more convex, the rostrum essentially different, the corbels of 
the posterior tibiz open, &c. The tarsi are very remarkable. 
Aphela helopoides. (Pl. XVII. fig. 4.) 
A, oblongo-ovata, rufa, nitida; capite et rostro parcius et subtiliter punc- 
tatis; antennarum clava pubescente ; prothorace subtilissime et vage 
punctato, medio fere impunctato ; elytris striatis, interstitiis multo lati- 
oribus, foveolatis; corpore infra nitidis, irregulariter punctatis ; pedibus 
nitidis; tibiis, preesertim posticis, tuberculo-setulosis. Long. 23-3 lin. 
Hab. South Australia; New South Wales. 
ErHEeMAtra. 
Caput porrectum. Rostrum validum, capite longius, antice carinatum 
vel carinato-callosum ; scrobe obliqua, curvata, infra oculum desinente. 
Oculi rotundati, prominuli. Antenne breviuscule, apicales; scapo 
gracili; funiculo 7-articulato, art. duobus basalibus breviusculis, re- 
liquis brevioribus; clava breviter ovata. Prothorax parvus, subcylin- 
dricus, apice truncatus, basi subbisinuatus.  Scutellum oblongum. 
Elytra oblonga, prothorace multo latiora, parallela, postice declivia, 
apice rotundata, supra planata, humeris subobliqua, Pedes debiles ; 
femoribus clayatis; tibi&s teretibus, bispinosis; tars’s subzequalibus, 
angustis, infra pilosis, art. penultimo bilobo, art. ultimo elongato; un- 
guibus liberis. -Abdomen segmentis duobus basalibus maximis, con- 
natis. Processus interfemoralis subangulatus. 
For the present, I can only suggest a distant affinity of this genus 
* Another genus resembling [phipus (I. ? Roe?) is Sympiezoscelus, Waterh. I 
have a second species from Queensland, which renders it probable that the type, 
described by Mr. Waterhouse, but whose habitat was doubtful, is also from Aus- 
tralia.
