414 Mr. F. P. Pascoe o« new Curculionidce. 



Zantes limbatus. 



Z. latissime ovatus, fulvus, pilis aurcis adspersus ; eljtris nitide 

 nigricantibus, margine exteriore fulva ; clava anteniiarum nigra. 

 Long. 3 lin. 



Hah. Madagascar. 



Very broadly ovate, fulvous, with scattered golden hairs ; 

 elytra glossy black, the external margin 

 fulvous ; head and rostrum finely punc- 

 tured, the latter broader at the base, the 

 scrobes passing obliquely in front of the 

 eye, not receiving the whole of the scape ; 

 club of the antenna and last tln-ee joints 

 of the funicle black, the first joint stout 

 and rather longer than the second ; pro- 

 thorax nearly twice as broad as long, 

 the scutellar lobe truncate ; scutellum hollowed in the 

 middle, the two anterior angles tuberculiform ; elytra about as 

 broad as long, linearly sulcate, the shoulder and outer margin 

 fulvous ; body beneath and legs sparsely pubescent. 



MiSYNUS. 



Rostrum tenuatum, arcuatum ; scrobes laterales. Oculi ovati, infra 

 approximati. Antennce in medio rostri insertse ; scapiis oculum 

 hand attingens ; clava cjlindrica, elongata. Prothoraoc con- 

 vexus, utriuque rotundatus, lobis ocularibus distinctis. Elytra 

 prothorace vix latiora. Coxce antica3 contiguse ; femora longe 

 pedunculata, infra dentata. Abdomen segmeutis tribus inter- 

 mediis gradatim brevioribus. 



I do not find the scrobes connivent beneath the rostrum, as 

 stated by Lacordaire, in Mecocorynus or in Ectatorki'nuSj and 

 in that respect they agree with the above. From the former 

 this genus differs in the separation of the anterior coxce, from 

 the latter in the terete rostrum, and from both in the narrow 

 elytra, scarcely broader than the prothorax at the base. 



Misynus dissimilis. 



M. oblongo-ellipticus, fuscus ; prothorace apice angustiore, utrinque 

 fortiter rotundato ; elytris griseo-variegatis. Long. 5| lin. 



Hah. Niam-niam. 



Oblong-elliptic, brown, prothorax and elytra with obscure 

 patches of greyish, the most conspicuous patch on the latter
