352 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on neto Curculiomdce. 



Oblong, dark ferruginous, glossj, antennge, femora at the 

 base, apical lialf of the tibias and tarsi reddish ; rostrum stout, 

 strongly marked throughout with oblong punctures ; antenuEe 

 slender; prothorax without ocular lobes, slightly rounded at 

 the sides, the disk with large, irregular, confluent granules ; 

 scutellum triangular; elytra somewhat broader posteriorly, 

 ilattish above, striate-punctate, punctures large, approximate, 

 the interstices fl.at ; second abdominal segment as long as the 

 two next together ; femora with an acute tooth. 



A small flattish species, differing from the genuine Hylohii 

 in having no ocular lobes ; but they are very slight in H. 

 jpapulosus^ after which it may be placed. 



Hylohius clathratus. 



H. oblongus, niger, parum nitidus, sparse setulosus ; rostro sub- 

 tenuato, sex-sulcato, sulcis intermediis basi approximatis ; pro- 

 thorace oblongo, grosse granulato ; elytris punctis quadratis 

 magnis iustructis, apicibus paulo divaricafcis. Long. 6 lin. 



Hah. India. 



Oblong, black, slightly glossy, with small pale scattered 

 setge, more condensed posteriorly ; rostrum rather slender, 

 coarsely punctured, with six irregular grooves in front, the 

 two intermediate approximate at the base ; antennas with the 

 two basal joints of the funicle equal j prothorax oblong, a 

 little contracted at the base, coarsely granulate ; elytra sub- 

 cylindrical, the apices slightly divaricate, seriate-punctate, 

 the punctures large, quadrate, the alternate interstices promi- 

 nent, the intermediate interstices represented here and there 

 by finely raised lines ,• body beneath sparsely punctured ; 

 femora toothed ; tibise nearly entire. 



A very coarsely sculptured species allied to H. rusticus^ 

 but, inter alia, with the posterior callus on each elytron 

 strongly produced j the punctuation of the elytra is also 

 different. 



DiEODES. 



Hylohio affinis. Scrohes valde obliquse, infra rostrum conniventes. 

 Oculi laterales, transversi, fortiter granulati. Abdomen sutura 

 prima obsoleta. Unguiculi connati. 



The claws being united at the base separates Lacordaire's 

 " Pacholenides " (a group of his " tribu Hylobiides ") from 

 his group of true "Hylobiides;" but the shorter metasternum 

 and the facies seem to me to indicate that the affinities of this 

 genus are nevertheless with Hylohius rather than with either
