592 Mr. Pascoe's descriptions of Curculionida?. 



Oblong-ovate, less convex above, black, partially clothed with 

 greenish scales, and speckled with black granules ; rostrum 

 short, stout; scrobe large, extending nearly to the eye; antenna; 

 moderate; third joint of the funicle a little longer than the others, 

 which are subequal in length; prothorax above equal in length 

 and breadth, punctured, the intervals granulate ; elytra rather 

 depressed, broadest at the middle, suddenly compressed towards 

 the apex, irregularly granulate, each above the compressed por- 

 tion with an area of fewer graniiles — hence a pale spot, Avhich, 

 in certain lights, has the appearance of a callosity ; beneath and 

 base of the femora closely covered with glaucous green scales, 

 anterior tibiae slightly denticulated. 



Allied to /. scahratus, from which, inter alia, the depressed 

 and irregularly granulate elytra will readily distinguish it. 



Isomer inthus scaposus. 



I. oblongo-ovatus, niger, albo-lineatus ; prothorace rotundato; 

 scapo antennarum compresso, basi subito truncato. Long.

Hab. Dorey (New Guinea). 



Oblong-ovate, black, varied with lines of snow-white scales; 

 roitrum somewhat slender, white ; scape or the antenna; com- 

 pressed, suddenly contracted at the base; joints of the funicle 

 subequal; prothorax somewhat globose, coarsely granulate, four 

 stripes at the base and anterior border, white ; elytra lineately 

 punctured, the intervals finely granulate, two stripes on each 

 elytron, connected by a transverse band behind, and a stripe at 

 the apex, white ; body beneath and legs with scattered white 

 scales. 



The peculiar character of the scape will at once distinguish 

 this species; it is allied to /. albolineatus (Guer.). 



Apocyrtus castaneus. 



A. oblongo-ovatus, glaber, castaneus, geniculis tarsisque 

 infuscatis; prothorace subcyliudrico, subtilissime punctate; ely- 

 tris ampliatis, depressis, lateribus e(^ualiter rotundatis. Long.
