whose apical uncus is very small. Tarsi small, four-jointed, first and 

 second joints small and short, third rather larger, with slender and short 

 lobes. 



927. E. aberrans, Sharp; Trans. Entom. Soc., 1878, p. 13. 

 Perdebile, angustum, subcylindricum, sat nitidum, rufescens, setis tenuis- 

 simis, sat elongatis vestitis ; prothorace angustulo, cylindrico, fortiter 

 crebre punctato, medio longitudinaliter angustissime impunctato ; elytris 

 fortiter seriatim punctatis ; metasterno elongate. 



Long., if mm. ; lat, \ mm. 



The rostrum is more than half as long as the thorax ; it is rather 

 finely and indistinctly punctured, and like the rest of the upper surface 

 bears fine hairs. 



The eyes are rather small, oval, and have their greatest length in the 

 longitudinal direction. 



The thorax is narrow and cylindric, being only very little narrowed 

 in front, and scarcely at all constricted or depressed there ; it is coarsely 

 and rather closely punctured, but the punctures become more sparing 

 towards the middle, so that they almost leave a smooth space along the 

 middle line. 



Elytra elongate and slender, but distinctly broader than the thorax, 

 not at all striate, but with very regular rows of coarse punctures, which 

 at the apex, however, become fine and indistinct. Under-surface 

 sparingly punctured and shining, its setae excessively short. 



Agrilochilus. 



Nov. gen. 



Body long and narrow, depressed, coarsely sculptured, and densely 

 clothed with fine setae. 



Rostrum elongate, cylindric, somewhat arcuated, longer than thorax, 

 gradually narrowed anteriorly, rough, setose ; scrobes deep, oblique, 

 beginning at the middle, expanded behind, so that they are but little 

 separated below. Antenna, stout and elongate ; -scape flexuose, incras- 

 sated towards the extremity, reaching the eye ; funiculus five-articulate, 

 its basal joint largest, pyriform, rather slender at base, second similar in 

 shape but smaller, joints three to five sub-moniliform ; dub rather small, 

 but distinct, ovate. Head abruptly constricted behind, so as to form a 

 broad neck, a little dilated behind the eyes. Eyes distant from thorax 

 and from each other, situated in front at the sides of the beak, slightly 

 convex and distinctly facetted. Prothorax much longer than broad, 

 gradually narrowed and slightly constricted anteriorly, a little bisinuated 

 at the base, with rounded posterior angles. Scutellum distinct. Elytra 

 a trifle broader than thorax, elongate, parallel-sided, obtusely rounded 

 apically. Legs robust, femora simple, tibiae short, with distinct hooks ; 

 tarsi moderate, third joint sub-bilobed and rather broad, the terminal 

 elongate. Sternum plane ; mesosternum moderate, truncate in front ; 

 metasternum elongate. Abdomen long, its two basal segments large, third 

 and fourth small, all with straight sutures.
