128 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Curculionida?. 



dense squamosus ; elytris valde convexis, postice fascia flexuosa 

 alba notatis ; rostro antice rotundato. Long. 3 lin. 



Hab. Dikoya. 



Ovate, dark brown, with numerous glossy shining granules 

 above in the midst of rather closely-set palish scales ; rostrum 

 rounded in front, scaly throughout ; antennse pitchy, first two 

 joints of the funicle as long as the resttogether; prothorax with a 

 well-marked longitudinal groove, granules irregularly scattered, 

 some bearing a short erect black scale ; scutellum small, semi- 

 circular ; elytra very convex, strongly grooved, the grooves 

 foveate, interstices with a line of somewhat remote granules ; 

 body beneath and legs closely scaled, with longer bifid scales 

 intermixed, last four segments of the abdomen with a few 

 hair-like scales only. 



Amphialus agrestis. 



A. ovatus, fuscus, supra nitide nigro-granulatus, inter granula dense 

 squamosus ; rostro antice bicarinato. Long. 2| lin. 



Hab. Dikoya. 



Allied to the preceding, but at once differentiated by the 

 two carinas or elevated lines on the rostrum, and the two 

 shorter basal joints of the funicle ; the prothorax has a shal- 

 low longitudinal groove free from granules j and the elytra 

 longer in proportion and less convex, have on each a white 

 somewhat semilunar spot behind the middle. The spots 

 however, as well as the band of the last are liable to be 

 effaced, and are probably not to be depended on, as is the 

 case in many others of the same family. 



Phrygena. 



Hostntm tenue ; scrobes antemedianae, infra rostrum euntes. Anten- 

 na funiculo primo incrassato, quam secunduslongiore. Oculi rotun- 

 dati, laterales. Prothorax transversus, irregularis, apice produc- 

 tus, lobis ocularibus prominulis. Scutellum punctiforme. Elytra 

 ovata, convexa, prothorace latiora. Jtima peetoralis ad meta- 

 sternum extensa, postico indeterminata. Ahdomen segmentis 

 duobus basalibus amplis ; processus interfemoralis late truncatus. 

 Femora in medio incrassata, inutica ; tibiae basi compressse, calca- 

 ratae ; tarsi articulo tertio ampliato ; ungniculi liberi. Corpus 

 squamosum et faseieulatum. 



Allied to Colobodes, but with the pectoral canal extending 

 to the mesosternum, and of course with the anterior and inter- 

 mediate coxae apart. The canal, however, is not so definite 

 posteriorly as in the " Ty Iodides." I have a second species 

 from Singapore*. 



* It is closely allied to the Cingalese species here described ; but the 

 broad ridge on the prothorax is rather convex above, without the excava-
