CURCULIONIDJE. — SIBINIA. 57 



Sp. 9. parvulus. Piceus, parcius olivaceo-pubescens, suturd, basi rvfo-fuscd, 



antennis pedibusque rufis. (Long. corp. 1 lin.) 

 Sp. parvula. Kirby MSS.—Ty. parvulus. Steph. Catal. 160. No. 1628. 



Piceous, sparingly clothed with an olivaceous pubescence, with the base of the 

 suture rufo-fuscous ; the antennae and legs entirely rufous. 



Not very common : found within the metropolitan district in the 

 summer : also, I believe, in Suffolk. 



b. With the funiculus of the antennw 6-Jointed. 



Sp. 10. cinerascens. Nigricans, parcius cinereo-pubescens, antennarum clavd, 

 femoribuscjue fusco-piceis. (Long. corp. 1\ lin.) 



Cu. cinerascens. Mar sham. — Ty. cinerascens. Steph, Catal. 160. No. le^Y. 



Slender: dusky; so&rin^Y c\o\hedi with & cinereous pubescence, paler beneath: 

 thorax immaculate : elytra rather deeply punctate-striate, the interstices some- 

 what densely clothed with pubescence ; the apex concolorous : femora black 

 or dusky ; tibiae and tarsi ferruginous ; antennce with the club fuscous ; the 

 funiculus six-Jointed. 



Apparently not very uncommon within the metropolitan district 

 in June. I have taken it abundantly in a corn-field near Ripley, 

 on the first of January. 



Sp. 11. lineatulus. Fusco-niger, veHere plumbeo tectus, suturd albd; pedibus 



rufis. (Long. corp. 1^ lin.) 

 Si. lineatula. Kirby MSS.—Ty. lineatulus. Steph. Catal. 160. No. 1630. 

 Fuscous-black: clothed with a lead-coloured or o\vf^.ceo\x& pubescence ; with the 



sides of the thorax, and a narrow dorsal line, pale: elytra simply striated, 



with the suture white : legs and antennae rufous. 

 Obs. — This and the preceding insect belong to Schonherr's subgenus Micco- 



TBOGUS, differing from Tychius by having the funiculus of the antennae 



6-jointed, and the rostrum broader at the apex : — they might therefore be 



advantageously detached. 



Found in Devonshire; I believe by Mr. Spence: also in the 

 New Forest. 



Genus CCXCVI. — Sibinia, Germar. 



Antennae geniculated, 11-jointed, rather short and stout; funiculus 6-jointed, its 

 three basal joints somewhat elongate, obconic, the first stoutest, the remaining 

 three short, with the apex truncate ; club rather stout, oblong-ovate. Rostrum 

 elongate, free, a little bent, and somewhat attenuated towards the apex : eyes 

 large, lateral, rounded: thorax much narrowed anteriorly, the base obsoletely
