422 PERCY SLADEN TRUST EXPEDITION 
The special localities for P. parallelus are, the high forest of Morne Blane and Pilot, 
the Mare aux Cochons district, and the forest above Cascade Estate. 
Five males and one female, varying greatly in size and colour, one large unicolorous 
male having much stouter limbs than the smaller examples of the same sex. This insect 
has the vestiture of the upper surface very fine and wholly decumbent, as in P. cylindricus, 
from which it may be separated by its smaller size and narrower form, the less constricted 
prothorax, the stouter, abruptly curved rostrum of the male, and the non-mucronate apices 
of the elytra of the female. 
29. Phencobates ngrolimbatus, n. sp. 
Elongate, narrow, subcylindrical, feebly shining; ferruginous or obscure ferruginous, 
the antennal club, the sides of the prothorax and elytra, and the under surface in part, 
infuscate or black ; sparsely. clothed with short, curled, decumbent, rather coarse, whitish, 
setiform scales, those on the elytra uniseriately arranged down each interstice. Rostrum 
($) much shorter than the prothorax, feebly curved, almost parallel-sided, moderately stout, 
rugulosely punctate, squamose; (?) longer and more slender, cylindrical, shining, finely 
striate. Prothorax a little longer than broad, somewhat rounded at the sides, narrowed 
and feebly constricted anteriorly, densely, finely punctate. Elytra elongate, subcylindrical, 
scarcely wider than the prothorax; rather finely punctate-striate, the interstices narrow 
and rugulose. Beneath shining ; closely, moderately coarsely punctate ; ventral segments 1 
and 2 broadly depressed down the middle in g. Femora each with an indication of an 
excessively minute tooth. 
Length (exclud. head) 2;4,—22 mm. (29). 
Loc. Seychelles: Mahé, Silhouette, Praslin. 
A long series: found in Silhouette on a number of occasions in the forest near Mont 
Pot-d-eau and above Mare aux Cochons: in Mahé, in the high forest of Morne Blanc, and 
in the Mare aux Cochons district, 1000—2000 feet : in Praslin, in the Coco-de-mer forest, 
Vallée de Mai, Cétes d’Or Estate. Narrower and less robust than P. cylindricus; the 
vestiture coarser; the prothorax less constricted anteriorly; the elytra more finely 
punctate-striate, the apices unarmed in the female; the femoral tooth almost obliterated 
the rostrum feebly curved in the male. 
30. Phenicobates albosetosus, n. sp. 
Elongate, subcylindrical, feebly shining ; ferruginous, the elytra brown, the sides 
of the latter, the prothorax, femora, and under surface more or less suffused with black, 
the dark border to the elytra angularly extending imwards at a little before the 
middle and the markings on the prothorax sometimes reduced to three longitudinal 
streaks; sparsely clothed with short, coarse, decumbent, whitish or pale yellow, 
decumbent, setiform scales, those on the elytra uniseriately arranged down each interstice 
and abruptly becoming long, erect, and clubbed on the apical declivity. Rostrum (¢) 
much shorter than the prothorax, almost straight, rather slender, slightly widened 
apically, rugulosely punctate and squamose ; (?) slender and longer, shining, finely striate. 
Prothorax longer than broad, rounded at the sides, narrowed and feebly constricted in
