3924. Tocris pascoi sp. nov. Tocris Broun, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 
vol. 14, p. 115. 
Oblong, moderately convex and nitid; black, antennae rufo-piceous, 
basal 3 joints of tarsi fusco-rufous; irregularly covered with depressed, 
rather small, nearly white squamae. 
Rostrum moderately coarsely, closely, and rugosely punctured, obtusely 
but slightly elevated at the sides, the scales disposed transversely, the 
broadly triangular frontal space nude and finely punctate; mandibles 
straight inwardly, obtuse at the extremity. Head with a smooth inter- 
ocular fovea. Thorax just a seventh broader than long, obtusely pro- 
minent and widest before the middle, sinuate between that part and the 
base, which is feebly rounded, apex truncate ; with a slightly raised, almost 
smooth median spot near each side, and a nearly similar pair, prolonged 
backwards, on the middle, separated by a longitudinal line, and the finely 
punctate apical portion almost bare ; the rest of its surface with moderately 
distinct, irregularly distributed punctures, the intervals minutely punctate. 
Elytra scarcely thrice the length of thorax, the base slightly incurved and 
broader than it is, a fifth wider behind the posterior femora, with simple 
apices; each elytron bicostate as far as the top of the declivity, these are 
finely punctate, the side is also costiform but curved inwardly behind, the 
suture is somewhat broadly elevated behind the middle and a little thickened 
near the apex; the interstices are densely squamose, each has a series of 
coarse but not deep punctures at each side. 
This most nearly resembles 7. haimiltont (3289), but is smaller, with 
somewhat different sculpture and whitish vestiture. The basal 2 joints 
of the tarsi are cordate, the penultimate longer and deeply bilobed. The 
2nd joint of the funicle is as long as the basal, joints 3-7 are very gradually 
shortened and thickened but none are moniliform:; club elongate- -oval, 
finely pubescent. 
Length (rostrum inclusive), 15 mm.; breadth, 54 mm.

on the 9th March, 1914, from Mr. M. O. Pascoe, of Queenstown, whose name 
it now bears.

Coleopt., p. 444. 
Nigrescent, slightly nitid; elytral interstices thickly covered with 
depressed, pale tawny scales, the thorax thinly and irregularly. 
Rostrum a third shorter than thorax, moderately coarsely and rugosely 
punctured ; with a large but not deep i impression in front of the antennae 
and a fovea at the bage. between these there is a smooth but not sharply 
marked carina. Thorax slightly broader than long, widest before the 
middle, slightly and oradually narrowed behind, rather abruptly contracted 
and subangularly emarginate at the apex; its surface a little uneven, with 
an ante-basal impression, a larger but more shallow one at each side near 
the middle, and another near the front: the punctation is coarse, irregular, 
and rugose, the slightly raised parts near the middle, however, have but 
few punctures ; the base is feebly but widely emarginate. Elytra oblong- 
oval, rather wider than thorax at the base, more than twice its length ; each 
elytron has a well-developed costa extending to the extremity. where it
