AVlicn compared -with the typical species (/. iuuiis), it will 

 be noticed that the bald triangular apical portion of the 

 rostrum is more distinctly marked off, the eyes are less 

 acuminate in front, the prosteruum is more suddenly and 

 deeply incurved, and the basal two segments of the abdouieu 

 are relatively longer. 



Length (rostr. inch) 5, breadth 2 lines. 



Kivcrton. 



One received from jNIr. J. II. Lewis. 



Inophloeus discrepans, sp. n. 



Subopaque, piceous, covered with small greyish-yellow 

 scales and numerous erect grey setic ; antennae pitchy red, 

 tarsi infuscate red. 



Rostrum one fourth shorter than thorax, feebly tricarinatc. 

 Thorax only slightly broader than long, moderately rounded 

 laterally ; tuberculate-rugose, rufesqent, and finely punctured 

 iu front. Scutellum small. Elytra ample, nearly double the 

 width of the thorax, shoulders curvedly narrowed, sides 

 nearly straight but much contracted posteriorly, declivity 

 almost vertical, with somewhat acutely prolonged apices ; 

 dorsum slightly convex ; the punctures are disposed in series, 

 but at the base the inner two on each elytron form grooves, 

 and there the suture and third, interstices are a little raised, 

 the third and fifth interstices at the top of the declivity are 

 nodiform, and below these nodosities the suture is slightly 

 elevated. 



Underside f usco-piceous, clothed with inconspicuous scales 

 and grey setfe. Prosternum incurved. Metasternum with 

 a distinct fovea on the middle at the base. Second ventral 

 segment iu the middle nearly as loug as the first, the suture 

 strongly sinuate, the fiftli with an elongate central depression. 



Antenna elongate, finely hispid ; scape gradually but only 

 moderately thickened, it reaches the hind margin of the eye ; 

 funiculus (exclusive of the four-jointed club) of the same 

 length as the scape, basal two articulations of equal length, 

 third distinctly shorter than second, joints 4 to 7 decrease iu 

 length. 



Strobes open above in front, but become vague towards 

 the lower part of the eyes, these latter rounded above, but 

 acuminate below. Ocular lobes but little developed and 

 minutely ciliate. Posterior iibi<je at the extremity with a 

 narrow truncate space, bordered with two series of ciliae. 

 Basal joint of the tarsi scantily clothed. 



Length (rostr. incl.) 4j, breadth I ^ lines.
