appearing sliallow before reaching the lower angle of the 

 eyes. Ocular lobes well developed. Corbels of posterior 

 tibia; cavernous, the external truncate surface of naoderate 

 breadth and Avith inner and outer cilise. Basal ventral seg- 

 ment deeply impressed between the coxcC. 



Male. — The basal four antennal joints, though decreasing 

 slightly, are not far from being equal in length ; the terminal 

 three are nearly twice as long as they are broad. 



Evidently allied to /. rhesus, of narrower outline, diffe- 

 rently coloured, with longer antennee and club, smaller 

 elytral punctures, &c. From /. suturalis it may be readily 

 distinguished by the more obviously cariuate rostrum, 

 uaiTOwer hind body, and longer thorax.

I am indebted to JMr. H. Suter for my specimens. 



Group Cyliiidrorhinidae. 

 Pparchus, gen. nov. 



Allied to Sargon, the rostrum more expanded in front, yet 

 less so than in Anugotus. The scrobes become vague behind 

 and are directed to the lower surface. The eyes are trans- 

 verse, almost truncate in front, and rather near the thoracic 

 margin. Ocular lobes only feebly developed, but the pro- 

 sternum is distinctly emarginated. The scape is shorter and 

 just touches the front of the eye. The funiculus is longer 

 than the scape, the basal two joints are equal and mode- 

 rately long, joints 3 and 4 are longer than broad, and 5 to 7 

 are bead-like. Club oviform, pointed, and pubescent. The 

 tarsi have dense brush-like soles, but with a bare linear space 

 along the middle ; their third joint is deej)ly bilobed. Ante- 

 rior coace slightly separated. 



In Phoocoteks the eyes touch the front of the thorax and 

 the tarsi are narrow, with scantily clad soles. In Phceo- 

 phanus the eyes and scrobes are very similar, but the ocular 

 lobes are well developed and the tarsal vcstitiire is very scanty. 



Pparchus Lewisi, sp. n. 



Elongate, piceous, covered with depressed, greyish, rather 

 elongate scales. 



Rostrum slightly shorter than the thorax, feebly tricarinate 

 above, its apex with a few yellowish setse, but otherwise 

 nude, and irregidarly punctate. Thorax of equal length and 

 l)readth, subcylindrical, \>idest near the front, evidently
