18 Mr. Pascoe's lievision 



The two following are unknown to me, and do not 

 occur in the above list of species. 



Catasarcus stigmatipennis. 



Cneorhinus stygmatiijennis, Boisduval^ Voy. de FAstrol. 

 ii. 349. 



A narrower species than Cn. impressipennis* of the 

 same author, which is the same as Cat. rufipes, accord- 

 ing to Lacordaire. It is entirely ashy above, with nine 

 rows of large distinct punctures on each elytron. It is 

 from " Port Western." 



Catasarcus rugulosus. 



Boheman, in Schonh. Curcul. VIII. ii. 380. 



This species is said to be the size o^ Hyp e7'a jnin data, 

 with the front not canaliculate, but it is afterwards stated 

 to be briefly canaliculate at the apex. It is differen- 

 tiated from C. Hopii by the rostrum " otherwise sculp- 

 tured," but its description conveys no definite idea of 

 anything apart from the genei'al characters of the genus, 

 and I am unable to arrive at any conclusion as to the 

 real distinction between them. I fancy almost every 

 collection contains something standing under this name. 



Section 1. 



Elytra without dorsal spines. 



1. Catasarcus hilineatu^. 



Fahraeus, in Schonh, Curcul. v. 813. 



An easily recognized species, on account of the dense 

 broad line of scales along the suture. 



2. Catasarcus suturalis. 



Ovate, black, nitid, nearly glabrous ; head quite flat in 

 front, the lateral carina) narrow and prominent, the inter- 

 mediate nearly obsolete, with a slight groove between 

 them; rostrum shorter than in C. hilineatus, tlie median 



* Boisduval, lib. cit. p. 350, pi. vii. fig. 9. This figure shows a much 

 longer prothorax than auy Catasarcus I have seen.
