Notwithstanding some slight discrepancies with Faust's

Compactus, dense squamosus, variegatus, antennis pedibusque 

 crassis, dense squamosis, illis variegatis, tibiis compressis intus

This insect is remarkable from the incrassate antennas, and 

 Otiorhynchus-like rostrum. The scape is broad, compressed, 

 densely squamose and setose, brown, 2nd joint also brown, 

 joints 3-7 stout, covered with white squamosity, 8-11 black, the 

 last three forming a compact club. Rostrum broad at the tip, 

 scrobes large, converging inwards abruptly, so that the prominent 

 intervening space is but narrow ; ej^es large, rather prominent. 

 Thorax rather large, deeply bisinuate at the base, narrowed in 

 front, extremely densely squamose. Elytra densely squamose, in 

 colour at the base as if scorched, on the middle pale, immediately 

 behind the pale scales, a dark patch, the apical part coloured like 

 the front of the body of a pale fawn colour : striation obscure on 

 account oE the squamosity. Legs very densely squamose, femora 

 dentate. Under-surface densely clothed with pale squamosity. 



Of this distinct weevil only one individunl was pro- 

 cured. Hitoyoshi, May 5th, 1881.
