Group Otiorhynchidae. 

 Cecyropa alternata, sp. n. 



Convex, broadly ovate^ opaque, densely covered with small 

 depressed grey and pale slate-coloured squamse and minute 

 grey setse ; on the thorax these darker scales form an elon- 

 gated central cross and near each side an irregular curvate 

 mark; most of the elytral disk is also dark; the alternate 

 interstices are, however, marked by numerous oblong grey 

 spots. The general ground-colour is pale castaneous, but 

 the legs and antennae are usually ferruginous. 



Rostrum stout, Avith a central linear impression and a dark 

 basal spot. Scrobes short and well limited. Scape covered 

 ■with white squamse and slender elongate setse ; funiculus 

 shining, with fine grey setse, second joint obviously shorter 

 tlian the first, but of similar form, 3-6 moniliform, seventh 

 distinctly larger than the preceding one ; club short, ovate, 

 articulate. Thorax transverse, its sides regularly rounded, 

 b\it at the base, near each side, there is a constriction which 

 causes an evident gap between that point and the elytra ; 

 the base and apex are truncate. Elytra distinctly wider 

 than the basal margin of thorax, a little dilated behind the 

 shoulders, gradually narrowed posteriorly, scutellar region 

 slightly elevated ; they have series of moderately fine punc- 

 tures, which towards the apices assume the form of striae. 

 Legs stout, of moderate length, covered with grey scales and
