Mr. Pascoe's descrqdtoiis of Curculionida\ 597 



Apoderus verrucosus. 



A. ( 9 ) rufo-bruuneus; elytris tuberculis uitide Havidis iiuiue- 

 rosis ornatis; femoribus muticis. Long. 3:^ lin. 

 Hab. Laos. 



lieddisli-browu, the elytra with uumerous smooth yellowish or 

 amber-coloured tubercles; rostrum very short, broad; auteunaj 

 short, inserted nearer the base than the apex, rather widely 

 apart, the terminal joints of the funicle transverse, club stout, 

 pubescent, nearly obsoletely jointed ; head sharply constricted 

 Ijehind, but not prolonged ; prothorax conical, broader than 

 long, strongly grooved both at the apex and base, the disc con- 

 vex and having a deep longitudinal groove; elytra subquadrate, 

 coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices strongly raised and 

 more or less spotted with yellow lines and tubercles, the inter- 

 vals between the punctures granuliform ; legs smooth ; spurs of 

 the tibiae and claws black. 



For the tubercles on the elytra this species may be approxi- 

 mated to ^i. flaootaberosiis, Jek , but they are more numerous 

 and differently placed; in form it is allied to A. Tranqueharicus. 



Anletes major. 



A. omuino rufo-castaneus, pilis tenuissimis griseis adspersus; 

 rostro elongate; clava antennarum laxe articulata. Long. 5-5|- 

 lin. (rostr. inch). 



Hab. Andaman Islands. 



lieddish-chesnut with numerous very slender grey hairs; 

 rostrum as long as the elytra, finely punctured, grooved at the 

 base behind the insertion of the antenute, the latter extending 

 to the apex of the rostrum, the club very loose, of three joints, 

 the first two obconic, the third ovate ; prothorax rather longer 

 than broad, rounded at the sides, irregularly punctured, the 

 intervals slightly corrugated; scutellum small, triangular; elytra 

 a little depressed, pimctate-substriate ; tibia? slender, straight; 

 al^domen with the second segment longer than the first. 



Excej^t that the rostrum is nearly as long in proportion in 

 A. Jilicornis, this very distinct species is not to be compared to 

 any of its congeners.
