Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Curculionide. 91 
Apoderus macropus. 
A. fere omnino fusco-cupreus ; antennis ferrugineis; prothorace in 
medio profunde longitudinaliter sulcato, lateribus oblique costatis ; 
femoribus posticis pone abdomen extensis. Long. 34 lin. 
Hab. Sarawak. 
Almost entirely dark or brownish copper; antenne ferru- 
ginous, glossy, except the club; head closely constricted 
behind, nearly impunctate, a deep groove in front continued to 
the middle of the rostrum, the latter short and much dilated 
towards the tip, the neck very short; prothorax subconic, 
tubular at the apex, rising anteriorly into a bilobed gibbosity, 
the dividing groove continued to the base, the sides above 
obliquely ribbed ; scutellum quadrate; elytra short, parallel 
at the sides, the shoulders elevated, striate-punctate, inter- 
stices of irregular breadth, raised at the base and round the 
scutellum, the punctures gradually smaller towards the apex ; 
mesosternum grooved between the intermediate coxe ; legs 
robust ; posterior femora extending beyond the abdomen. 
The stout femora, the posterior conspicuously extending be- 
yond the abdomen, give this species a different outline from its 
congeners. Thesculpture of the prothorax is very remarkable. 
Balaninus luctuosus. 
B. breviter ellipticus, niger, pubescens, niveo-maculatus ; antennis 
ferrugincis, articulo secundo funiculi longiore quam primus ; 
elytris brevibus, cordatis. Long. 24 lin. 
Hab. Dorey. 
Shortly elliptic, black, with a concolorous pubescence, and 
snow-white scales condensed in well-defined spots ; rostrum 
longer than the elytra; antenne ferruginous, second joint of 
the funicle longer than the first, the rest gradually shorter ; 
prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides; scutellum white, 
punctiform ; elytra short, cordate, an oblong white spot on 
the suture at the base, a transverse one on each side and 
behind the middle, and another at the apex, as well as a 
larger spot at the base of the prothorax on each side, and 
the anterior margin, as well as the pectus, white; body 
beneath and legs clothed, the latter more sparsely, with 
hair-like greyish scales; second abdominal segment shorter 
than the two next together; femora with an obtuse tooth 
beneath. 
In some respects like the Australian B. amenus, Fab., but 
larger, the spots and the form different. In Balaninus the 
rostrum varies in length, sometimes irrespective of sex, and
