This interesting new species is allied to C. platycephalus, Hope 
(vid. Westw. Or. Ent. p. 17, pl. villi. fig. 2), but is abundantly 
distinct; it differs in the form of its mandibles (which in C. pla- 
tycephalus are of a peculiar structure, and described by Professor 
Westwood as being short and palmated), and in its elongate nar- 
row elytra, which are also more strongly punctured. The ¢, as 
in C. platycephalus, is of a darker colour than the é, and, com- 
pared with the same sex of that species, presents the following 
differences: the head is broader, with the vertex depressed, more 
sparsely punctuate, the angle in front of the eye more produced, 
the two nodose elevations on the centre being entirely wanting ; 
the prothorax is also wider and less punctate, and the elytra longer 
and less convex. The Rev. F. W. Hope in his Catalogue refers 
C. platycephalus to his sub-genus Cyclophthalmus ; Mr. Thomson 
has, however, appropriately made it the type of his new genus 
Cyclorasis, whereof we are now acquainted with three distinct 
species. The above insect originally formed part of Mr. J. C. 
Bowring’s rich collection, and has been named after M. Jekel, 
the well known author of a Catalogue of the Curculionidae,

Hab, Ind. Or. Coll. Parry. 
Of an elongate form, the elytra being much longer than the 
head, thorax and mandibles taken together; shining, of a polished 
cinnamon brown, with a faint brassy tinge. Mandibles short, 
recurved, forked at the tip with from 6 to 7 minute teeth on the 
inner edge. Head, thorax and elytra minutely punctured, lateral 
margins of prothorax slightly reflexed ; scutellum blackish-brown. 
Tibiz of fore legs crenulated externally, the four posterior un- 
armed. 
Allied to C. platycephalus, but differs in the form of the man- 
dibles, and in the anterior angles of the head being much less 
acute, The elytra are also narrower and more elongate.
