CHAMPION—COLEOPTERA ; CURCULIONIDA A441 
57. Acalles seychellensis, n. sp. (PI. 23, figs. 32, 32a, ¢.) 
Acuminate-ovate, very convex, opaque, the summits of the tubercles, the under 
surface, and the rostrum of 9, shining; black, the antenne and tarsi obscure ferruginous, 
the depressed portions of the surface bearing minute, scattered, yellowish, setiform scales, 
the legs also setulose. Head confluently foveolate ; rostrum of ¢ similarly sculptured, and 
also tricarinate, broad, widened outwards, and about as long as the posterior portion of 
the prothorax, that of ? much smoother in its outer half, the antenne inserted at (3%) or 
behind (?) the middle; eyes large. Prothorax broader than long, rounded at the sides, 
which are parallel at the extreme base (as seen from above), the short anterior lobe 
obliquely narrowing forwards; closely studded with intermixed conical and oblique 
tubercles. Elytra subcordate, acuminate, broader than the prothorax, transversely gibbous ; 
with rows of inconspicuous scattered punctures, the interstices convex and each studded 
with a series of rather large oblong or conical tubercles, these latter becoming smaller and 
more distant on the steep apical declivity. Beneath confluently foveate, the transverse 
arcuate ridge on the mesosternum very prominent ; ventral segments 3 and 4 extremely 
short. Legs rugosely punctate, the tibiz carinate. 
Length 3—34, breadth 12—24 mm. (9). 
Loc. Seychelles: Mahé, Silhouette. 
Fourteen specimens, found in the forests of the higher country, amongst leaves on 
the ground: Mahé, high forest of Morne Blanc and forest above Cascade Estate: 
Silhouette, from near Mont Pot-a-eau and from the forest above Mare aux Cochons. 
A highly specialized form, black, closely studded above with conical or oblong tubercles, 
which are polished at their summits. The presence of this sluggish apterous insect on two 
separate islands shows that they must have been formerly connected.

Loc. Seychelles: Mahé (A. Brauer). Madagascar. 
An introduced insect in Mahé. C. dorsiger, Fairm., a co-type of which belonging to 
the Paris Museum is before me, is a form of C. brullei with the tubercles on the alternate 
elytral interstices larger, the terminal one on the fifth being especially conspicuous. Both 
insects inhabit Madagascar.
