Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Curculionide. 443 
furcifer has no more highly developed dermal skeleton than 
several of the other species of the genus; that the marginal 
plates do not differ in any essential degree from those of S. 
glacialis, endeca, affinis, and papposus ; that the skeleton pre- 
sents no special differences ; and that, as a consequence of all 
this, there are no grounds for the establishment of a new 
genus for it. 
We believe therefore that we have now sufficiently esta- 
blished the opinion formerly expressed by us, that the genera 
Crossaster and Lophaster cannot be sustained. 
Before closing these remarks we shall think ourselves justi- 
fied in enlarging the characters of the genus Solaster in accord- 
ance with the investigations that we have made :— 
Body with five or more arms, everywhere beset with peni- 
cilliform paxille ; between these, tentacular pores. Two series 
of marginal plates, more or less developed, but concealed by 
the skin. Anus central.
