364 On two new Rhynchophorous Coleoptera. 
species of Lhinoscapha which agrees admirably with Herr 
Karsch’s description of R. virédula except that in that species 
the interstices of the elytra are said to be flat, whereas in the 
specimen before me they are distinctly convex. This may 
be a mere individual variation. 
Rhinoscapha Thomson. 
Elongato-obovata, nigra, squamis glaucis parce tecta; rostro medio 
sulcato utrinque obtuse carinato ; thorace rugoso, medio impresso ; 
elytris punctato-striatis, interstitiis vix convexis, granulis nume- 
rosis nigris nitidis sparsis, singulis elytris maculis duabus ante 
medium fasciaque pone medium flavis ornatis. 
Long. 11 lin. 
Hab. Aignan Island. 
Black, sparingly clothed with fine, very pale bluish-grey 
scales. The rostrum has a broad median channel, with an 
impressed line in the middle. The antenne are clothed with 
erey scales, with the apex of the joints of the funiculus black, 
beset with a few black hairs; the scape reaches to the 
middle of the eye; the second joint of the funiculus is a 
little longer than the first. The thorax is as long as broad, 
distinctly narrowed at the base, broadest in front of the middle, 
convex, transversely impressed in front, with a well-marked 
discoidal impression ; covered with black shining granules, 
which are variable in size and shape and are sometimes con- 
fluent. The elytra are punctate-striate, the punctures small 
and not very close together ; the interstices are only slightly 
convex about the middle, studded with very numerous, small, 
black, shining granules, with a few of a rather larger size 
round the yellow spot and bordering the yellow fascia; each 
elytron has a transversely ovate yellow spot at a short dis- 
tance from the base and a little removed from the suture, and 
another below the shoulder; the transverse fascia (which 
does not reach the margin of the elytron) is a little dilated 
about the middle. The legs are clothed with grey scales and 
are studded with black shining granules ; the tibiz are beset 
with hairs, which are chiefly blackish on the outer and pale 
fulvous on the inner edge.
