new Neotropical Curculionide. 463 
Eustylus bolivianus, sp. n. 
Colour black, with brown scaling, the elytra with ill- 
defined darker brown stripes on intervals 2, 4, and 6, these 
stripes being broken by an irregular oblique band of the 
ground-colour running from behind the shoulder to the 
middle of the suture. 
6. Head with a shallow transverse impression behind the 
eyes, which are large and moderately prominent, their length 
being greater than the width of the forehead. Rostrum 
elongate, parallel-sided in the basal half, the gene abruptly 
dilated, the scrobe about as long as the space between it and 
the eye, the median dorsal area flat. Antenne elongate ; 
the scape comparatively slender and almost cylindrical, 
gently curved, and with stout recumbent setee ; the funicle 
with the two basal joints equal, 3 a little longer than 4, the 
remainder subequal except 6, which is shorter and sub- 
quadrate; the club as long as the three preceding joints. 
Prothoraz a little longer than broad, subcylindrical, being 
slightly narrowed only near the apex; the rugose punctures 
entirely covered, but not hidden, by the scaling, the intervals 
in the middle bearing a few small shiny granules. Scutellum 
subquadrate, level with the elytra. ytra jointly sinuate 
throughout at the base, the humeral slope running direct to 
the basal angle, the sides feebly sinuate behind the shoulders, 
the apical area not much prcduced, the apex broadly rounded, 
the posterior declivity steep, its outline very slightly sinuate ; 
the shallow sulci with rather large ocellated punctures, the 
alternate intervals only slightly raised ; the setee moderately 
long and obliquely raised, all the imtervals with only a single 
row. Legs with light brownish scaling ; the front femora 
with an obtuse tooth. ; 
Length 74, breadth 3 mm. 
BOLivia. 
The specimen here described was identified by Jekel as 
EL. striatus, Boh., but this superficially similar Mexican species, 
of which there is a co-type in the British Museum, presents 
the following differences :—'The eyes are entirely lateral; the 
rostrum is continuously widened from the base, the sides 
being almost straight; the scrobe is much longer than the 
space between it and the eye; there is a deep central stria 
on the forehead and basal half of the rostrum and a short 
carina at the apex of the rostrum ; the cylindrical prothorax 
is more than half as long again as its basal width; the 
broad brown sete of the elytra are entirely recumbent; the 
outline of the posterior declivity is distinctly angulated, &e.
