CHAMPION—COLEOPTERA ; CURCULIONIDA 475 
102. Stenotrupis silvicola, n. sp. 
Very elongate, narrow, subfusiform, depressed, shining, almost bare; black or 
pitchy-black, the elytra often piceous and with the humeri rufescent, the tarsi and the 
base of the antennz rufo-testaceous, the rest of the legs and the tip of the rostrum 
piceous or rufo-piceous. Head rather sparsely, the rostrum very finely, punctate, the 
latter smoother in $; rostrum curved, long, and slender, thickened at the tip, in 2 very 
slender and about as long as the prothorax ; head oblongo-conic, constricted far behind 
the eyes, the latter depressed; antennze slender, the club abrupt. Prothorax a little 
longer than broad, oval, constricted before the apex ; closely, uniformly punctate. Elytra 
elongate, very gradually narrowed from the base; closely, finely punctate-striate, the 
interstices flat and transversely rugulose. Beneath finely, the sides of the metasternum 
and of the first two ventral segments more coarsely, punctate ; metasternum canaliculate 
posteriorly ; ventral segments 1 and 2 sulcate, and 5 transversely excavate, in g. Third 
tarsal joint rather broad. 
Length 2—24 mm. (99). 
Loc. Seychelles: Silhouette, Mahé. 
Eighteen specimens, all from the high forest : found in Silhouette in the forest above 
Mare aux Cochons, in Mahé in the high forest of Morne Blane and Pilot, the forest behind 
Trois Fréres and on Morne Seychellois, the forest above Cascade Estate, and in that on 
the summit of “ Montagne Anse Major,” ca. 2000 feet. This species is nearest allied to 
S. polita, differing from it in the more curved rostrum in both sexes, the relatively 
shorter, uniformly, and distinctly more coarsely punctured prothorax, the less parallel, 
subglabrous elytra, and the broader third tarsal joint. Two of the females are less shining 
than the rest, and one of them has the disc of the prothorax broadly depressed, but they 
evidently belong to S. szlvicola, as shown by the tarsal structure. 
103. Stenotrupis dumetorum, n. sp. 
Very elongate, narrow, subfusiform, moderately depressed, shining; ferruginous, 
with the eyes black and the space between them infuscate, the body in one example 
nigro-piceous. Rostrum curved, slender, slightly thickened at the tip, in nearly as long 
as the prothorax, in ¢ distinctly stouter and shorter, faintly punctulate; head small, 
conical, sparsely, finely punctate, constricted at a little behind the eyes, the latter small 
and depressed ; antenne slender, long, the club rather large, acuminate-ovate. Prothorax 
slightly longer than broad, subconical, rounded at the sides posteriorly, constricted just 
before the apex ; closely, finely punctate. Elytra elongate, subparallel in their basal half; 
finely punctate-striate, the interstices flat. Beneath very finely punctate; metasternum 
not or feebly canaliculate posteriorly; ventral segments 1 and 2 hollowed down the 
middle, and 5 shallowly foveate, in ¢. Legs slender; tibie very feebly unguiculate ; 
third tarsal joint narrow, very little wider than the second. 
Length 13—2 mm. (f9). 
Loc. Seychelles: Mahé, Silhouette, Praslin.
