CHAMPION—COLEOPTERA ; CURCULIONIDA 461 
83. Pentarthrum scott, n. sp. 
Moderately elongate, narrow, rather convex, shining; rufo-piceous, with a faint 
brassy tinge. Head and rostrum closely, very finely punctate; rostrum stout, sub- 
cylindrical, feebly curved, rather more than half the length of the prothorax; head 
constricted behind the eyes, the latter prominent and moderately large; antennze short, 
the club rather small, ovate. Prothorax a little longer than broad, somewhat oval, narrowed 
and constricted towards the apex ; closely, finely punctate, except along a narrow space 
down the middle. Scutellum extremely minute. Elytra moderately long, very gradually 
narrowing from the base, conjointly rounded at the apex ; punctato-sulcate, the interstices 
narrow, faintly punctulate. Beneath sparsely, very finely punctate, the metasternum 
suleate. Anterior coxee separated by the width of one of them. Tarsi short, the third 
joint feebly lobed. 
Length 24 mm. (9). 
Loc. Seychelles: Mahé. 
One specimen, assumed to be female, the first ventral segment being unimpressed. 
Smaller, narrower, and less convex than P. seychellarum, the prothorax very finely 
punctate, the elytra punctato-sulcate and with much smoother, narrower interstices. 
P. scotti was found in the high forest of Morne Blane. 
TEMNORRHAMPHUS, h. gen. 
Rostrum broad, transverse, parallel-sided, grooved above, truncate at the tip, leaving 
the apices of the mandibles exposed, the scrobes very deep, transverse, the antennze 
inserted near the apex, the buccal cavity large; head broad, feebly constricted behind 
the eyes, the latter not very prominent; coxee large, the anterior pair separated 
by the width of the coxa; antenne stout, with a 5-jointed funiculus and a small 
club, the scape extending to far beyond the eyes; tibize with the outer apical angle 
produced into a long curved hook, the inner angle mucronate; body elongate, robust, 
subcylindrical, glabrous; the other characters as in Pentarthrum (type P. hutton, 
Woll.). 
Type, 7. laterostras. 
The single species referred to Temnorrhamphus may be described as a robust 
Pentarthrum with the head and rostrum formed very much as in the Rhyncolid-genus 
Eremotes. It cannot be included in Pentarthrum as defined by Wollaston. The type is 
a strongly-built, convex, subcylindrical insect, with the apices of the elytra more narrowly 
explanate than in the widely distributed P. apicale, Broun, and the large anterior coxe 
separated by a space equalling the width of one of them. 
84. Temnorrhamphus latirostris, n. sp. 
Moderately elongate, rather convex, subcylindrical, feebly shining ; piceous or nigro- 
piceous, the elytral humeri rufescent, the antennze and tarsi obscure ferruginous. Head 
and rostrum closely, finely punctate, the rostrum shallowly suleate down the middle, the 
eroove extending backwards to the small inter-ocular fovea; antennze moderately stout,
