j\Ir. T, D. A. Cockerell on Fossil Arthropods 



Upper Eocene, Bagsliot Beds, Sfudland Bay, Isle of 

 Purbeck, Dorset [Brodie). British Museum, 10428. 



Very much like modern Buprestis, but the apex appears to 

 be sharper than usual. 



Curculionites hrenthiformisj sp. n. (Fig. 7.) 



Elytra probably at least 13 mm. long (11*3 mm. preserved), 

 4 mm. wide, nearly parallel-sided, the humerus gently rounded, 

 apex lost. Nine coarse strong strise (in middle half a milli- 

 metre apart), more or less distinctly interrupted by large 

 shallow depressions, about three in 2 ram. longitudinally.

Curculionites hrenthiforniis, sp. n. 



Bartonian, Bagshot Beds, Bournemouth {Gardner, 8 and 

 15). British Museum, 19007, with reverse. 



The punctiform depressions are too large and shallow for 

 an Elateiid, and appear to indicate an unusually elongate 

 member of the Rhynchophora, similar to the Brenthidas.
