70 Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell on Fossil Arthropods 



Upper Eocene, Bagshot Beds, Studland Bay, Isle of 

 Purbeck, Dorset (Bfodie). British Museum, 10423. 



Very much like modern Buprestis, but the apex appears to 

 be sharper than usual. 



Curculionites brenthiformis, sp. n. (Fig. 7.) 



Elytra probably at least 13 mm. long (11*3 mm. preserved), 

 4 mm. wide, nearly parallel-sided, the humerus gently rounded, 

 apex lost. Nine coarse strong striae (in middle half a milli- 

 metre apart), more or less distinctly interrupted by large 

 shallow depressions, about three in 2 mm. longitudinally.

Curculionites brenthiformis, sp. n. 



Bartonian, Bagshot Beds, Bournemouth (Gardner, 8 and 

 15). British Museum, 19007, with reverse. 



The punctiform depressions are too large and shallow for 

 an Elaterid, and appear to indicate an unusually elongate 

 member of the Hhynchophora, similar to the Brenthidse. 



Fie:. 8. 



Chrysomelites bartonicus, sp. n.
