378 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on Australian Curuclionidce. 



longer than the second ; prothorax longer tlian broad, rounded 

 anteriorly, then gradually narrowing to the base, slightly tu- 

 berculate above ; scutellum punctiform, indistinct; elytra not 

 broader than the prothorax at the base, very convex, strongly 

 rounded at the sides, striate-punctate, the punctures linear, 

 interstices broadly elevated, the alternate ones larger and 

 bearing a xow of ligulate scales ; legs densely scaled, with 

 ligulate scales at intervals. 



In this species the eyes are nearly round, and only very 

 slightly, if at all, pointed beneath ; it is one of those excep- 

 tions which may be found in almost every group. This species 

 is remarkable for its narrow prothorax and very convex 

 elytra, in the latter res[)ect resembling L. tetraphysodes^ but 

 without its callosities. It is not unlike the species of White's 

 Kew-Zealand genus Brachyolus^ which I hardly know how 

 to distinguish from Lcjyfops. 



BUBAlilS. 



Caput antice convexum ; rostrum basi angustius ; scrobes arcuatae ; 

 antomce breves, funiculo incrassato. Oculi subtrausversi. Pro- 

 thorax apico baud productus, utriuqiie rotundatus, lobis oculari- 

 bus diytinctis. Elytra postice latiora, humeris promiuentibus. 

 Pedes setigeri ; tlhice rectaj ; tarsi breves, articulis tribus basalibus 

 utrinque spina terminatis. 



A genus with somewhat negative characters, differing from 

 JEdriodes in its transverse eyes partially covered by the ocu- 

 lar lobes, and from Mytintes in its narrow, but not iiliform, tarsi. 

 One of Lacordaire's characters for Mytintes^ the moniliform 

 funicle, only applies to the type {M.sulcicoUis). M. pithecius 

 is congeneric with the species described below ; it differs, inter 

 ah'uy in having the prothorax prominent and rounded at the 

 apex, not, however, produced so as to hide the head when 

 viewed from above, as in Dialejjtopus, Amorphorhinus, and 

 others. 



Buharis indemnis. 



B. ovatUB, niger, prothorace apice truucato, granulis minusculis con- 

 fertis munito, in medio leviter 6ulcato. Long. 4 lin.

Ovate, black, head in front smooth ; rostrum deeply sul- 

 cate ; prothorax rounded at the sides, broad and truncate at 

 the apex, above with closely-placed small granules ; longitu- 

 dinal median groove nearly obsolete, except anteriorly ; elytra 

 not broader than the prothorax at the base, much broader 

 behind, irregularly granulate, granules small, approximate,
