MR. F. P. PASCOB ON THE CURCULIONIDjE. 19 



{0. angularis, MacLeay, jiin.). The G. scotohioides of some col- 

 lections (not of Hope) may be distinguished by the following 

 characters : — 



CuBicoRHYNCHUS STERiLis. C. moToso assiinilis, sed antennis gra- 

 cilioribus, funiculo articulis subpyriformibus ; prothorace subtiliter 

 remote granuloso ; elytris interstitiis fere obsolete granulatis, tarsis 

 minus dilatatis. Long. 5-6 lin. 



Hab. Victoria. 



Chbiottphus. 



Rostrum angustius, basi profunde transversim sulcatum, in medio 

 anguste canaliculatum. Oculi majusculi, ovati, tenuiter granu- 

 lati, prothoraci contigui. Gcetera ut in Talaurino. 



In Talaurinv^ the eye is small, round, and away from the pro- 

 thorax ; and the sculpture of the rostrum, which is rather deep, 

 especially in proportion to its breadth, cannot be considered a 

 modification of that of Talaurinus. The species described below 

 is remarkable for its pale ochreous-grey colour, with a few patches 

 of brown, and for its prominent conical shoulders. 



Chriotyphus acromialis. (PI. II. fig. 10.) C. oblongo-ovatus, 

 niger, sat dense pallida griseseenti-squamosus fusco-plagiatus ; capite 

 rostroque supra grisescentibus, lateribus nigris ; antennis squamosis, 

 modice elongatis ; funiculo articulis duobus basalibus obconicis, 

 cseteris subobconieis ; clava anguste elongata ; prothorace apice quam 

 basi fere duplo angustiore, utrinque fortiter rotundato, pone apicem 

 transversim impresso, dorso granulis diversis nitide nigris bivittatim 

 obsito, lateribus etiam granulatis, interspatiis subaureo-squamo- 

 sis; elytris seriatim foveatis, interstitiis, regione suturali excepta, 

 irregulariter conico-tuberculatis, apicibus paulo productis; corpore 

 infra nitide nigro, sternis medioque abdominis griseo-squamosis. 

 Long. 6 lin. 



Hab. Western Australia (Champion Bay). 



Alexibhea. 



(Amycterinse.) 



Caput transversum, antice convexum ; rostrum crassiusculum, sed 



be separated from them, the character in this case is not of generic value. I 

 give C. angularis as the male of C. Bohemani on the authority of Mr. DuBoulay, 

 who takes it abundantly at Champion Bay. No species was described when 

 Lacordaire diiferentiated the genus ; it remains, therefore, without a type.
