9. Head with a faint transverse impression behind the 
eyes, which are moderately prominent, the front portion of 
the orbit only shallowly impressed, the width of the narrowest 
part of the forehead equal to the length of theeye. Rostrum 
parallel-sided in the basal half, then strongly dilated, the 
margins of the inter-scrobal area gently curved, the scrobe a 
little longer than the space between it and the eye, the median 
dorsal area quite flat as far as the apical slope. Antenne 
with the scape broad, compressed and rather strongly curved, 
the sete curved and slightly raised ; the funicle with joint 2 
much longer than 1, which is scarcely longer than 3, 3 a 
little longer than 4, 4 to7 subequal ; the club only as long as 
the two preceding joints. Prothoraz about as long as broad, 
parallel-sided from the base to the middle, then gradually 
narrowing to the apex, the subapical constriction shallow, 
the front margin slightly rounded dorsally ; the upper surface 
with slight inequalities appreciable through the sealing on 
the disk, these being more evident towards the sides. Scu- 
tellum a little longer than broad, oblong. lytra of the 
usual rather elongate form, the basal margin straight from 
the outer angle to interval 3 and jointly sinuate in the 
middle, the apical area rather sharply pointed, the apices 
themselves slightly separated ; the humeral slope not running 
straight to the basal angle, but forming a distinct angle with 
the base ; the shallow sulci containing large, widely separated 
punctures, which are much more exposed than usual, each 
having a small projecting scale on the front edge ; intervals 
3, 5, and 7 strongly costate, the others almost flat, except 
interval 1, which is costate on the declivity only, being there 
higher than 3; the sete pale, moderately long and recum- 
bent or nearly so, forming a single row on the low intervals, 
irregular and more numerous on the raised areas. Legs pale 
sandy, the front femora with a strong tooth. 
Length 9-94, breadth 35-3? mm.

EHustylus subvittatus, sp. n. 
Colour black, with dirty white scaling and faint light 
brown markings ; the prothorax with three broad stripes ; 
the elytra with faint stripes on the lower intervals, especially 
in the basal half, and an oblique stripe running from before 
the middle on stria 5 to the suture at the top of the declivity. 
3 ?. Head not transversely impressed, the eyes not very 
prominent, their length a little less than the width of the 
forehead. Rostrum as in E, bodkini, Antenne very similar
