The elytral setae are often indistinct, and (except to a 
slight extent posteriorly) do not rise above the general level, 
on the prothorax they are more distinct. The eyes are less 
prominent than in any other here recorded. The emargina- 
tion of the apex of the prothorax, although of the same 
nature, is much less distinct than in Bo villi. In other species 
of the genus the scutellar lobe is probably emargmate, but the 
emargination masked. In the present species, however, it is 
sufficiently deep to prevent the scales entirely masking it. 
The scape is narrowly grooved throughout its entire lower 
surface, a most unusual character in any genus of weevils ; 
there are, however, several of its congeners with traces of this 
feature. On abrasion, the punctures are seen to be as de- 
scribed in the preceding species, and the rostrum to have two 
fine costse marking the inner boundaries of the scrobes. 
Possibly close to aurifeiv, but differs from the description 
of that species in having the elytra without patches or sj^ots 
of fawn, the rostrum longitudinally impressed (the impres- 
sion, however, often concealed by scales), the eyes slightly 
oblong, elytra not much wider than base of prothorax, and 
the second abdominal segment (at least along middle) much 
shorter than the first ; also in mirifex no mention is made of 
setae. With the description of glaucinus it agrees fairly well, 
but it cannot be that species, as Pascoe tabulates it as hav- 
ing the "eyes round" and "form more slender," whilst the 
present species is the most robust of its genus I have seen. 
Myllocerus amblyrhinus, n. sp. 
Black, appendages reddish. Densely clothed with white 
(very lightly tinted with blue) scales, on the elytra obscurely 
variegated with small pale brown spots. In addition with 
short setae, which on the elytra are curved and slightly ele- 
vated above the general level. 
Head convex. Eyes suboval and very prominent. Ros- 
trum very short, subquadrate, concave only at extreme apex. 
Scrobes distant. First joint of funicle not much longer 
than second. Frothorax strongly transverse, base mode- 
rately bisinuate and slightly narrower than apex ; sides 
rounded. Elytra much wider than prothorax, striate-punc- 
tate. Femora minutely dentate. Length, 5^ mm.

The rostrum is unusually short, and the eyes are more 
prominent than usual. The femoral teeth are so small as to 
be invisible from most directions. On abrasion the pro- 
thoracic punctures are seen to be fairly large, and more numer- 
ous than in the two preceding species, but those on the 
elytra are much the same. 
Evidently close to the description of nasutus, but smaller,
