new Neotropical Curculionide. 455 
broad as the narrowest part of the forehead; the scaling 
dense, except in the area above the scrobe, the recumbent 
sete scarcely distinguishable from the scaling. Antenne 
as in P. citri. Prothorax evidently broader than long, almost 
parallel-sided from the base to the middle, then rapidly 
narrowing to the apex and with a shallow subapical con- 
striction, the basal margin strongly bisinuate, the apical 
margin truncate dorsally and with no trace of a gular 
sinuation ; the upper surface with a broad shallow pear- 
shaped impression in the middle of the disk, extending from 
the base almost to the front margin and containing in its 
anterior half traces of an interrupted central stria; the close 
shallow punctation almost entirely hidden by the scaling. 
Elytra moderately broad, very slightly sinuate behind the 
shoulders, which form a rounded obtuse angle, shortly pointed 
behind ; striato-punctate, with 14 rows, the intercalated ones 
being between the normal fifth and sixth, and extending 
only trom behind the shoulders to a little behind the middle ; 
the punctures for the most part not completely covered and 
each containing a minute scale; the white scales very dense 
and overlapping, the green ones rather more sparse, the sete 
short and recumbent. Legs with the front tibia much more 
strongly curved than usual and with a very long apical 
mucro. 
Leneth 11-15, breadth 44-64 mm. 
JAMAICA: Bath (Mrs. H. M. Swainson). 
This beautiful insect differs from all the previously 
described species in its coloration, the structure of the front 
tibiz, and the absence of the gular sinuation of the prothorax, 
One of the specimens was found on a yam-plant. 
Eustylus obliquefasciatus, sp. n. 
Colour piceous, the upper surface with brown scaling 
variegated with paler markings, the underparts uniform 
greyish white ; the pronotum with two broad, discal, pale 
brown stripes, diverging behind and continued for a short 
distance on interval 3 of the elytra, and a narrower lateral 
stripe; elytra with interval 1 paler and the two external 
intervals whitish from before the middle to the apex, and 
with the following whitish markings (usnally edged with 
dark brown) :—A spot on the front of the shoulder; an 
oblique row before the middle of three spots on intervals 7, 
5, and 3, the outermost nearest the base ; behind and parallel 
with this a very irregular oblique band running from the 
middle of the lateral margin to the suture at the top of the
