22 Mr. Pa.scoe's Rccision 



Hah. — Champion Bay. 



The prothorax in this species is not so finely punc- 

 tured as in the last, and is much exceeded at the base by 

 the elytra; the latter are also very convex, and much 

 more strongly sculptured. 



7. Catasarcus mfipes. 

 Fahraeus, in Schonh. Curcul. v. 814, 



A somewhat depressed, oblong ovate species, which 

 M. Lacordaire thinks should be referi'ed to Cneorhiuus 

 impressipennisj Boisd. Voy. Astrol. ii. 350. 



8. Catasarcus Hopii. 



0. Hopei, Fahraeus, in Schonh. Curcul. v. 815. 



In this species, the head has, in front, four well- 

 marked equidistant carinae, although the central groove 

 is much narrower than the lateral ones, owing to the 

 sloping towards each other of the two intermediate 

 carinse. Fahrteus's diagnosis in Schonherr is a little 

 ambiguous ; the rostrum is said to have three grooves at 

 the base, and two at the apex ; the former of these state- 

 ments applies, apparently, to the front of the head, and 

 the description, after giving the frontal grooves, seems 

 to have gone back to them in treating of the rostrum. 



9. Catasarcus griseus. 



Oblong oval, black, covered with grayish scales, having, 

 under the lens, a slight rosy hue, and more condensed in 

 parts; head with four well-marked carinae in front, the 

 two intermediate parallel and rather approximate, the 

 grooves, except the middle one, filled with scales, 

 rostrum narrower than the front, the middle carina 

 narrow throughout; prothorax rather short, finely granu- 

 late, on each side a broad distinct stripe of closely set 

 scales, separated by a narrow median line of scattered 

 scales; scutellum small, triangular; elytra sulcate-punc- 

 tate, punctures broad, more or less coalescing at the 

 sides, the transverse intervals forming rather narrow 

 elevated ridges, post-humoral spine shortly conical ; body
