In general appearance this species resembles one from Morty, 

 but it has a much shorter and stouter rostrum, thicker antennae,

 Australian species of this large Malasian genus. It is true 

 Fabricius has a Curculio scabratus (redescribed by Boheman 

 as an Isomeriiithus) collected by Labillardi^re, and credited to 

 " noua Cambria " (Syst. El. ii. p. 522) ; but its true habitat 

 must be considered doubtful, as it does not seem to have oc- 

 curred in any of the many collections sent to this country. I

 Messrs. Saunders and Jekel, notwithstanding that it is poste- 

 rior in date to Co^torhynchus, Guer. (adopted by Lacordaire), 

 partly because the latter has been changed from Splicer opterus^ 

 which ought not to have been suppressed, and partly because

 Voy. de la Coquille), which has a priority of two pages over 

 8ph(eropterus^ a fact sufficiently conclusive for a certain school 

 of naturalists. I dedicate it to Mr. Janson, who has kindly
