MR. F. P. PASCOE ON THE CURCULIONIDiE. 7 



suturalibus minoribus, cseteris elongato-spiiiiformibus, lateribus gra- 

 nulatis, albo variegatis ; abdoraine sparse punctato. Long. 8 lin, 

 Hab. West Australia. 



The two large hatchefc-sliaped spines overhanging the head is 

 diagnostic of this species. It is unfortnnate that the name of 

 Acantlwlophus should have been previously used by Koch for a 

 genus of spiders *. 



AcANTHOLOPHUs SIMPLEX. A. oblongus, nigcr, squamis rufo-brim- 

 neis in cavitatibus sat dense vestitus ; fronte excavata ; rostro utrin- 

 que lamina triangulari sulcato, basi bifoveato, supra oculum spinis 

 duabus eonnatis, postica elongata recurva, antiea parva vel dentiformi, 

 instructo ; antennis baud elongatis^, dense squamosis, nigro-setulosis ; 

 funiculo articulis quatuor ultimis subovalibus ; prothorace subanguste 

 convexo, supra tuberculis granuliformibus, circa quatuordecim in serie- 

 bus irregularibus duabus ordinatis, lateribus utrinque tuberculo spini- 

 formi arraatis, basi sat fortiter sulcato; elytris oblongo-obovatis, 

 granulis minutis subseriatim munitis, ad latera magis tuberculatis, 

 interstitio tertio postice tuberculo minusculo obsito, apice anguste 

 rotundatis ; abdomine segmento secundo tertio paulo longiore ; pedi- 

 bus sat dense squamosis, setulis adspersis. Long. 6 lin. 

 Hab. West Australia. 



The concavity in the forehead is principally formed by a fold 

 connecting the spines above the eyes ; the elytra are covered with 

 numerous small granules, many of them almost liidden by the 

 scales, but becoming more tuberculate at the sides.

 (Amycterinee.) 



Caput inter ocidos excavatum ; rostrura eapite angustius, utrinque 

 trituberculatum ; scrobes infra oculos currentes. Oculi prominuli, 

 rotundati, fortiter granulati. Frotliorax utrinque angulatus, 

 basi angnstus, apice productus, lobis ocularibus nullis. Elytra 

 ovalia, postice subito declivia. Femora modice incrassata ; tibiee 

 rect» ; tarsi articulis tribus basalibus breviter triangularibus, 

 ultimo elongate. Abdomen ut in Acantholoplio. 

 In some respects like AcantJiolophus, but without ocular lobes, 



and with prominent eyes and well-limited scrobes running beneath 



the eye.
