its back, and it is from this specimen that the sexual cha-

Group Otiorhynchide. 
LTygrochus oculatus, sp. n. 
Subopaque, fuscous, antennee and tarsi ferruginous ; elytra 
clothed with very minute scales of an obscure pale reddish 
colour, the raised parts with yellowish sete; legs with minute 
squame and erect longish ee 
Rostrum rather shorter and about one third narrower than 
the thorax, rather flat, with a fine central carina; there are 
also two broad ill-defined grooves covered with minute reddish 
scales. Scape gradually thickened, opaque, covered with 
very small and a few longer erect sete. uniculus red, 
shining, with yellowish hairs, the two basal joints of equal 
length, third distinctly longer than broad, seventh bead-like, 
slightly broader than sixth. Club densely pubescent, elongate- 
oval, acuminate, indistinctly four-jointed. Thorax longer 
than broad, a little contracted in front, slightly wider near 
the front than it is elsewhere, behind nearly straight-sided, 
base and apex truncate; the surface slightly uneven, not 
visibly punctate, with a few minute scattered black warts ; 
covered with small, depressed, slender, obscure reddish scales. 
Elytra cordiform, widest behind the shoulders; these are 
curvate, so that the base scarcely exceeds the thorax in 
breadth ; they are gradually narrowed backwards, the poste- 
rior declivity 1s much narrowed but not quite vertical, the 
sides are inflexed; their sculpture consists of rather shallow 
nregular series of punctiform impressions and a few small 
wart-like elevations; the dorsum is a little uneven, the 
humeral regions are depressed, there are two indistinct basal 
elevations, and four slight setigerous elevations on the top of 
the declivity, two on each elytron. Zvbiw a little flexuous, 
mucronate. Zarst with the third joint deeply lobate, but 
only moderately broad, it is more evidently pilose than the 
others. 
Underside with some fine depressed yellowish scales. 
Front coxal cavities large, open in front. Basal segment of 
abdomen truncate between the coxw, flattened, nearly twice
