90 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Curculionide. 
Obovate, entirely covered with greyish scales; rostrum 
broader towards the apex, the middle with a black ridge, a 
short impressed vertical line between the eyes ; joints of the 
funicle gradually shorter towards the club; prothorax trans- 
verse, sides slightly rounded, scales concealing any punctures ; 
scutellum subtransverse ; elytra not broader than the pro- 
thorax at the base, but swelling out and rounded at the sides, 
finely punctate in rows, the apex subacute. Other characters 
are those of the genus, which is allied to and not unlike our 
Tropiphorus mercurtalis and hundreds of other species not 
very different except in minute structural characters. 8S. 
aridus, from Lizard Island, approaches the present species in 
form; but it has, énter alia, shorter and stouter antenne and 
elytra more coarsely punctate, with some of the interstices 
raised. 
Attelabus corallipes. 
A, fere omnino rufo-corallinus, nitidus; elytris striato-punctatis, 
interstitiis alternis elevatis, spina laterali antica valida, apicem 
versus infuscata. Long, 31 lin. 
Hab. Cambodia. 
Very like A. bispinosus, Gyll., from which it differs in being 
unicolorous, except the dark brown tip of the elytral spine, 
the absence of the transverse impressed line on the head, and 
the raised alternate interstices of the elytra. It was one of 
M. Mouhot’s captures. 
Attelabus indigaceus. 
A, ovatus, fere omnino cyaneus, subnitidus; scutello nigro; elytris 
antice reticulatis, postice gradatim seriatim punctatis. Long. 
4 lin. 
Hab. Laos. 
Ovate, almost entirely dark blue, slightly glossy ; head 
prolonged behind the eyes ; rostrum short, and with the head 
coarsely punctate ; antennz long, glossy black, the club dull 
blackish, tomentose ; prothorax closely punctate, the sides at 
the base obliquely striated and nearly impunctate ; scutellum 
quadrate, black ; elytra much longer than broad, transversely 
depressed before the middle, the base with coarse punctures, 
as if reticulated, the punctures becoming gradually smaller 
and disposed in rows towards the apex ; anterior tibie nearly 
straight ; abdomen coarsely punctate. 
The nearest approach to this species appears to be A. ceru- 
leus, Jek., from North China ; but it is much larger and stouter 
in proportion, and, ¢nter alia, the elytra are quite differently 
sculptured.
