446 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Curculionide. 
tibie apicem versus dilatate ; tarsi breves; unguiculi approxi- 
mati. Prosternum elongatum. Corpus squamosum. 
A stouter form than Balaninus, from which it is differen- 
tiated by its claws approximate, but not connate at the base, 
and by the shorter and stouter antenne. As in some Balanini, 
the pygidium is covered by the elytra. In my specimen, ap- 
parently a male, the rostrum is as long as the elytra. 
Ergania gibba. 
E. breviter ovata, fusca, squamis griseis fere omnino tecta ; rostro 
tenuato, nitide castaneo, basi sparsim setuloso. Long. 5 lin. 
Hab. Java. 
Shortly ovate, brown, nearly everywhere closely covered by 
greyish scales; rostrum as long as the elytra, glossy ferrugi- 
nous ; two basal joints of the funicle subequal, as long as the 
next four together; prothorax above equal in length and 
breadth, with three stripes of more closely packed scales ; 
scutellum somewhat oblong ; elytra with a marked convexity 
in the middle, substriate, the striz with approximate black 
punctures ; second abdominal segment nearly as long as the 
third, separated from the first by a nearly straight suture. 
Alcides mustela. 
A, elongatus, cylindricus, rufescens vel piceus; elytris postice fascia 
angusta recurva albida notatis, apice gradatim rotundatis. Long. 
3—4 lin. 
Hab. Singapore ; Sarawak. 
Elongate, cylindrical, rufescent or pitchy; elytra with a 
narrow whitish recurved band posteriorly; rostrum mode- 
rately long ; first joint of the funicle a little longer than the 
second ; prothorax slightly constricted anteriorly, closely co- 
vered with small mamillated granules; scutellum round; 
elytra rather narrower than the base of the prothorax, coarsely 
striate-punctate, the punctures large and squarish, the inter- 
stices narrow, the apex somewhat gradually rounded ; anterior 
coxee well apart. 
Narrower than A. angulus, Fab., and without the longitu- 
dinal stripe on the elytra. 
Alcides divergens. 
A, elongatus, cylindricus, nigro-piceus, prothorace vittis tribus, 
elytrisque vittis duabus, basi approximatis, obscure rufescenti- 
squamosis notatis, apice obtuse rotundatis. Long. 4-5 lin.
