so coarsely so as in that group), with their costate inter- 
stices branded with a row of conspicuous subasperated 
punctures, in its four anterior coxfe (although ver}' closely 
approximated) not being quite contiguous, and in the third 
articulation of its feet not beins; in the slightest des-ree 
widened, and remarkably simple. The punctation of its 
head and prothorax is extremely dense and substrigulose ; 
and the latter has a polished line, or faint keel, evanescent 
before and behind, down the centre. 
122. Stenoscelis (Wollaston, Jourii. of Ent. i. 141. 
1861). — Of all the Cossonids which have hitherto been 
described, perhaps Stenoscelis makes the nearest approach 
to the sub-Curculionideous forms of the Hylastida, — its 
shortly cylindric body, which is a little asperated (as Avell 
as just appreciably widened, and obtusely rounded) poste- 
riorly, having much in common with such genera as 
Dendroctonus. In its thickened head, short, triangular 
rostrum, and sunken eyes, as well as in its exceedingly 
abbreviated antenna3 and its elongated slender feet, it is 
on much the same pattern as the three preceding groups ; 
nevertheless its prothorax is shorter, or more transverse, 
more constricted anteriorly, and subsinuate on either side 
in the middle, its four anterior cox{^3 are more completely 
approximated, and the third joint of its feet (although 
scarcely at all widened) is not quite simple, — being evi- 
dently, though minutely, bilobed. In the fact of its 
scutellum being nearly obsolete it has a greater affinity 
with Eurycorynes than with Calciforus or Brochytemnus ; 
but its capitulum (Avhich is oval, and on the ordinary type) 
is not in any degree anomalously developed, and agrees 
better therefore with the last of those three genera. The 
three exponents of it which have been hitherto detected 
are from the island of St. Helena, the Cape of Good 
Hope, and the Japanese archipelago.
