MR. F. P. PASCOE ON THE CTTBCULIOKCD^. 3 



uata, infuscataj prothorace suboblongo, angusto, utrinque modice 

 I'otundato, supra nigro-granulato, linea elevata longitudinal! vittisque 

 duabus aurulentis notato ; elytris striato-punctatis, punctis paulo 

 elongatis, iuterstitiis tertio quiatoque paulo magis convexis, remote 

 nigro-punctulatis ; corpore infra pedibusque punctis nigris adspersis. 

 Long. 13 lin. (rost. incL). 

 Hab. Morty. 



This beautiful insect, of which, like the preceding, Mr. "Wallace 

 only' obtained one specimen, is perhaps most allied to R. Dolirnii, 

 Von Voll., but the sculpture of the elytra and colour are at once 

 distinctive ; the latter is difficult to describe, and is probably 

 variable. 



Rhinoscapha alma. R. nigra, squamulis grisescentibus, elytris 

 niveo-variis, dense tecta; rostro utrinque linea nigra laevigata in- 

 structo ; antennis graeillimis, dense squamosis, rarissime setulosis ; 

 prothorace pone apicem manifeste excavato, foveis nigris adspereo, 

 dorso transversim subplicato, in medio linea elevata nitide nigra in- 

 structo ; elytris subsulcato-punctatis, punctis vix approximatis, iu- 

 terstitiis convexis, granulis subtilissimis nigris, singulis squamulam 

 elongatam gerentibus, adspersis, basi plagis irregularibus, fascia flexu- 

 osa pone medium lateribusque, plus minusve niveis, ornatis ; cor- 

 pore infra opalescente in medio oserulescenti-nebuloso ; pedibus nigro- 

 maculatis, maculis squamulam elongatam gerentibus. Long. 11 lin. 

 (rost. inch). 



Hah. Aru. 



I have three specimens of this species, two of which are males 

 and have the legs slightly opalescent. 



Rhinoscapha opalescens. R. nigra, ubique squamulis opalescen- 

 tibus, in elytris pallide caerulescenti-variis, dense tecta; rostro utrin- 

 que baud nigro-lineato ; antennis graeillimis, dense squamosis, raris- 

 sime setulosis ; prothorace irregulariter foveatis, interspatiis tuberculis 

 parvis nitide nigris munitis, in medio linea nigra impresso ; elytris 

 subsulcato-punctatis, punctis magis approximatis, iuterstitiis convexis, 

 granulis subtilissimis nigris, singulis squamulam elongatam gerenti- 

 bus, adspersis, basi plaga irregulari elongata, aliis pone medium, 

 simul sumptis fascifeformibus, lateribus, plus minusve, maculisque 

 postice, cserulescentibus, ornatis ; corpore infra pedibusque setulosis, 

 ut in praecedente. Long. 11 lin. (rost. inch). 

 Hab. Waigiou; Mysol; Dorey. 



A specimen from Mysol is nearly concolorous ; a pair from 

 Dorey is less opalescent, and the blue is replaced by white. This 

 and the preceding species are nearly allied ; and putting colour 

 aside, on which little dependence is to be placed, I think R. alma
