422 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on some new Genera of Curculionine. 
guibus liberis. Coxze anticze contiguee. Abdomen segmentis duobus 
basalibus majoribus. Processus interfemoralis, triangularis. 
It is possible that this genus may be best placed, for the present, 
near Atelicus. The legs, especially the broadly dilated tarsi, are 
very similar, except that they do not want the terminal joint, which 
is, however, very short, and but just filling up the cleft of the pre- 
ceding joint, in the species described below. The colour varies from 
ashy brown to reddish brown or ferruginous. In habit it bears a 
striking resemblance to Chetectetorus. 
Aromagis echinata. (Pl. XVII. fig. 3.) 
A, oblongo-ovata, cinereo- vel rufo-fusca, tomentosa, supra squamis erectis 
instructa ; capite inter oculos squamoso-cristato, medio linea impressa ; 
rostro squamoso, apice paulo depresso; prothorace basi constricto, 
squamis erectis numerosis, plurimis fasciculatis, dispersis; scutello 
parvo, rotundato; elytris oblongis, sensim parum angustioribus, apice 
rotundatis, striato-punctatis, squamis erectis triplici serie obsitis, postice 
utrinque callis duobus squamoso-fasciculatis ; corpore infra fusco- vel 
ferrugineo-squamoso ; pedes squamis erectis tecti. Long. 33 lin. 
Hab. South Australia; New South Wales. 
JESIOTES. 
Rostrum crassum, difforme, medio haud sulcatum ; sevobe obliqua, profunda, 
sub margine oculi tingente. Oculi subprominuli, infra angustati, acumi- 
nati. Antenne subapicales ; scapo brevi, oculum attingente ; funiculo 7- 
articulato, duobus basalibus longiusculis; clava ovata. Prothorax 
angustus, oblongus, lateribus irregularis, basi bisinuatus, apice supra 
productus, infra late emarginatus; lobus ocularis valde determinatus et 
ciliatus. Scutellum oblongum. lytra prothorace basi multo latiora, 
ineequalia, postice declivia. Pedes subteretes; femoribus subclavatis, 
muticis; ¢ibi’s rectis, inermibus, corbulis posticis apertis ; tars?s articulis 
tribus basalibus latitudine fere sequalibus, art. ultimo elongato; wn- 
guibus liberis. Metasternum elongatum. Abdomen segmentis duobus 
basalibus majoribus. Processus interfemoralis anguste subrotundatus. 
A remarkable genus allied to Leptops, but radically distinct in its 
open posterior corbels, differently formed rostrum, and elongate 
metasternum, 
Msiotes notabilis. (Pl. XVII. fig. 16.) 
E. oblongus, niger, squamis griseo-metallicis ornatus; capite, fronte et 
supra oculos depresso; rostro squamoso, basi linea arcuata impressa, 
dein gibboso, lateribus sulcatis, apice triangulariter impresso ; antennis 
scapo squamoso, funiculo parce setoso ; prothorace fere duplo longiore 
quam latiore, quadri subseriatim longitudinaliter tuberculato, apice 
tuberculis duobus elevatis instructo, lateribus fusco-nebulosis; scutello
