Remarkable for the large, deep, and closely ranged punc- 

 tuation of the prothorax.

This species has a prothorax without any trace of the con- 

 striction behind the apex which is a character of most of the 

 species of this extensive genus. 



EUOROPIS. 

 Ab AcaUe diflfert tibiis extus prope basin dente angulato instructis. 



This character of the tibiee is seen also in Empleurus and 

 one or two other allied genera. It is perhaps of no great im- 

 portance ; but in a large genus like Acalles it is very desirable 

 not to admit any species having a structural peculiarity at 

 variance with its normal forms. The type of the genus is in 

 habit like some of the preceding ; but the sculpture is some- 

 what different : — small deep punctures on the prothorax, each 

 filled with a white scale not rising above the surrounding 

 level ; and on the elytra fine punctured strise, with flat, broad 

 interstices, having only very fine traces of punctures. 



Euorojpis castanea. 



E. ovata, subnitida, fusca, albo-squamosa, elytris pedibusque cas- 

 taneis ; capite crebre pimctulato ; rostro castaneo, basi longitudi- 

 naliter gibboso, sat dense squamoso, versus apicem vage punctu- 

 lato ; antennis subferrugineis ; scapo fere in medio rostri inserto ; 

 funiculo articulis duobus basalibus cseteris conjunctim paiilo Ion-
