which are large, but scarcely as dense between eyes as on vertex; 
rostrum rather sparsely squamose, the scales terminating before 
antenne. Prothorax with pale-ochreous (almost white) scales, 
forming eight (including the extreme lateral ones) feeble lines ; 
elytra with slightly darker scales, not very evenly distributed, 
and with a transverse, complete (except that it is not continued 
to the extreme outer margins) black, somewhat irregular and 
wide fascia beyond the middle. Under-surface with rather 
sparse whitish scales. 
Rostrum moderately curved throughout, the length of pro- 
thorax and scutellum combined; with sharply raised coste, of 
which those on each side of the median one are feebler than the 
others, the median continued to, but very feeble towards, apex ; 
apical portion, especially near antennz, coarsely punctate. 
Antenne rather slender; scape inserted one-fourth from apex of 
rostrum, fully half passing, the length of funicle and first joint 
of club ; funicle with all the joints apparently doubled, but only 
the second-fourth distinctly so, first equal to second-third, second 
longer than third, seventh slightly transverse ; club ovate, rather 
elongate. Prothorax trarsverse, sides rounded, apex not much 
narrower than base; densely and coarsely punctate. Hlytra 
suboblong-cordate, shoulders lightly rounded; apex feebly 
emarginate ; seriate-punctate, punctures rather large and sub- 
quadrate, lightly striate. Prosternal channel distinct, apex 
deeply emarginate. Metasternum and abdomen with a feeble 
depression, third and fourth segments of the latter feebly 
angular at sides. Legs rather long; femora grooved; tibize feebly 
bisinuate beneath ; claw joint of anterior tarsi rather strongly 
exserted. Length, 22 mm.; rostrum, 1 mm. 
Hab.—Forest Reefs. 
A very distinct and comparatively robust species. 
STOREUS MACROSTYLUS, 7%. sp. 
Male. Elongate -elliptic. Dull-red, metasternum slightly 
darker. Head moderately clothed with narrow scales, denser 
between and erect at sides of eyes; rostrum squamose its entire 
length, but the scales near apex sparser and subsetose. Upper- 
surface with pale-ochreous scales arranged on the prothorax in 
very feeble lines, the elytra with whitish scales forming feeble 
elongated spots, and appearing to form a very feeble fascia about 
the middle, the whole having a slightly tesselated appearance. 
Under-surface and Jegs with sparse whitish scales. 
Rostrum almost straight, longer than prothorax and scutellum 
combined; with sharply raised costze, the median one indistinct, 
except near apex. Antenne moderately slender; scape inserted 
two-sevenths from apex of rostrum, more than half passing, the
