Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Neotropical Curcultonidce. 427 



coarsely punctured, two rounded elevations posteriorly, apices 

 divaricate. 



A narrower species than the last ; the naked black patches 

 less definite, and absent on the head. 



Eustales impositus. 



E. elongato-ovatus, albo-squamosus, maculis irregularibus nitide 

 nigro-fuscis denudatis variegatus ; rostro carinato ; elytris valde 

 convexis. Long. 5 liu. 



Hob. Chontales. 



Elongate-ovate, varied above with more or less confluent 

 patches of white scales on a glossy brownish-black naked 

 derm ; rostrum strongly carinate ; prothorax slightly trans- 

 verse, well rounded at the sides, subbisinuate at the base ; 

 scutellum triangular ; elytra regularly convex, rounded at 

 the sides, apices divergent, irregularly punctured, except to- 

 wards the suture, punctures small, mostly filled in by the 

 scales ; body beneath with a naked brown longitudinal stripe ; 

 legs closely covered with small whitish scales. 



An isolated species. 



Brachyomus metallescens. 



B. elongato-ovatus, squamulis cupreo-metallicis variis tectus ; pro- 

 thorace elongato, cylindrico ; elytris postice bituberculatis. Long. 

 7 liu. 



Hab. Sarayacu. 



Elongate-ovate, covered with minute copper-coloured scales 

 and a few scattered golden-green ones above and on the legs, 

 golden-green scales more numerous beneath ; rostrum slightly 

 excavated in the middle, a short impressed line on each side ; 

 antennse slender, dull purplish ; prothorax much longer than 

 broad, cylindrical, irregularly and somewhat transversely 

 pitted above ; scutellum small, rounded ; elytra coarsely 

 punctured, abruptly declivous behind, declivity marked by 

 two large slightly compressed conical tubercles ; legs rather 

 slender. 



This species differs from the Brachyomi generally in its 

 cylindrical prothorax. 1 do not think that this is here suffi- 

 cient to warrant generic separation. The genus is remarkable 

 for being " exhumerate." 



Cljsoteges. 



Rostrum modiee elongatum, apice lathis, supra angulare ; scrobes 

 profunda?, arcuatae, pone oculos desinentes. Antennce articulis 

 duobus primis funiculi subiequalibus. Prothorax margine postieo
