42 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Neotropical CurcuUonidce. 



antennge short, ferruginous, tlie funicle scarcely long-er than 

 the scape, second joint of the former nearly twice as long as 

 the first; club stout, a pale stripe over the eye continuous 

 with a broader one on the prothorax, the latter slightly trans- 

 verse, posteriorly a broad groove, which is corrugated on each 

 side ; scutellum small ; elytra striate-punctate, inflected poste- 

 riorly, the outer margin thickened, and towards the apex 

 bluntly denticulate, near the suture a narrow stripe, on the 

 shoulder a double stripe united before the middle and behind 

 the middle interrupted by a round spot ; body beneath and 

 legs glossy black, clothed with a few greyish hairs. 



An isolated species, somewhat resembling Hilipus hipunc- 

 tatuSj Boh., in general appearance. 



Megalostylus expansus. 



M. oblongus, obscure fuscus, squamiilis albis tectus ; prothoraee 

 transversim triangulari, angulis posticis basin elytrorum superan- 

 tibus. Long. 4 lin. 



Hob. Mexico. 



Oblong, dull browni or pitchy, more or less covered with small 

 white approximate scales ; rostrum scarcely narrower than the 

 head, concave in front | antennge stoutish, black ; prothorax 

 broadly triangular, the posterior angles acute, extending be- 

 yond the elytra at the base ; scutellum very small, triangular j 

 elytra moderately convex, gradually rounded from the base to 

 the apex, finely striate-punctate, the punctures almost obso- 

 lete ; body beneath and legs pitchy brown with scattered white 

 setuljB. 



The head is more constricted behind than in M. rhodopuSy 

 Boh., with which structurally it pretty nearly agrees j but it 

 is at once differentiated by the form of the prothorax. 



Emmeeia. 



Rostrum breve, robustum, supra canaliculatum, apice triangula- 

 riter excisum ; scrobes curvatae, infra oculos desinentes. An- 

 tennce tenues, breviusculse, in medio rostri insertse. Oculi sub- 

 oblongi. Prothorax transversus, basi bisinuatus. Elytra basi 

 producta, bumeris obsoletis. Pedes breviusculi ; femora, incras- 

 sata, baud petiolata ; tihice anticse curvatae, omnes intus denticu- 

 latse ; corhulis cavernosis ; tarsi breviusculi, gequales ; ungiies 

 liberi. Processus intercoxalis angustus. Abdomen segmentis 

 tertio quartoque brevibus. 



With the general appearance of Eustales this genus has 

 the broad rostrum of Gyphus^ but without the prominent 

 shoulders of the latter. Lacordaire gives " corbellles glabres "
