CURCULIONIDAi—ALOPHIN &. 79 
with punctures, as on the thorax, but so feeble as to be inconspicuous; eye 
circular, removed by nearly twice its diameter from the prothorax, of less 
diameter than the width of the beak; the latter is fully as long as the pro- 
thorax, slightly tapering, slightly arcuate, and shows the antennal serobes to 
> 
be scarcely oblique, nearly as long as the beak. Prothorax nearly twice as 
high as long, distinctly and regularly tapering, the surface densely punctate. 
Klytra sharply and distinctly punctato-striate, the interspaces flat, with no 
signs of series of bristles. Under surtace of thorax heavily and coarsely 
punctate, but not so densely as the thorax. Under surface of abdomen 
similarly but still more sparsely and far more feebly punctate; the third 
and fourth segments are together considerably longer than the second. Legs 
moderately long and slender. 
Length, excluding rostrum, 4"; rostrum, 0°75™ elytra, 2°75™";

Pl. x, Fig. 4. 
Head very feebly and rather coarsely punctate, but not so coarsely as 
the prothorax, conically tapering but pretty full, more than half as high 
again as long, the eyes obscure in the specimens seen, the rostrum stout 
and much shorter than the prothorax, straight and equal. Prothorax about 
half as high again as long, tapering considerably and regularly with very 
little fullness, the surface densely punctate. Elytra heavily punctato-striate, 
with no serial bristles in the tolerably flat interspaces. Third and fourth 
abdominal segments together scarcely longer than the second. Legs rather 
short, the femora considerably thickened. 
Length, excluding rostrum, 4°"; rostrum, 0°55"; elytra, 3""; height
