from the Island of St. Vincent. 103 



versus attenuate et apice in medio leviter producto (nee emarginato), 

 oculis valde demissis, antennarum funiculo gracili (articulo 3*'° se- 

 quente vix longiore) clavaque latiore magis abrupta, necnon pro- 

 thorace subconico et (una cum elytris) sequali ab Anthribis omnino 

 discedit. 



A rpiyijivov, triangulum, et piv, rostrum. 



The insect described below is closely allied to Anthrihus, but 

 differs from the whole of Schonherr's Anthribideous genera in 

 many important particulars, — amongst which its exceedingly 

 short and triangular rostrum (which is wide behind, regularly 

 attenuated anteriorly, and produced, or rounded, at its extreme 

 apex, instead of being scooped-out), in conjunction with its 

 sunken eyes, greatly abbreviated, abruptly-clubbed antennae, 

 subconical prothorax, and even surface, should be especially no- 

 ticed. Amongst other points of its structure, I may remark 

 that it has no trace whatsoever of the antebasal pro thoracic costa, 

 which is usually more or less apparent in these immediate Ortho- 

 cerous groups, and that its antennae have their third and fourth 

 joints subequal in length, with their clava very wide and abrupt. 



17. Trigonorhinus pardalis, n. sp. 



T. breviter subcylindrico-oblongus, supra squamis nigris et flavo- 

 cinereis demissis densissime variegatus ; prothorace convexo, in- 

 distincte squamoso-maculato ; elytris laetius maculatis, flavo-cine- 

 reis, punctis nigris rotundatis irroratis et utroque macula majore 

 discali (fasciam transversam abbreviatam fractam communem eflS- 

 ciente) nigro-ornato ; antennis rufo-ferrugineis, clava pedibusque 

 nigrescentibus. 



Long. Corp. lin. lf-2i. 



Two specimens of this insect were taken by Messrs. Gray and 

 Clark during their day's sojourn at St. Vincent in December 

 1856 ; and I may add that it appeared to be identical with a 

 species found by Mr. Clark at Blidah, in Algeria, during June 

 of the same year, when I compared it hastily with an example 

 in his collection some time ago. Whether a more critical exa- 

 mination, however, would prove the two to be absolutely con- 

 specific, I have no means at present of ascertaining.

A single example of the universal C. 7-punctata was captured 

 at St. Vincent by my nephew, F. W. Ilutton, Esq., on the 11th 

 of June, 1857.
