MB. F. P. PASCOE ON THE CUBCULIONID^. 161 



BryocHuEta pusilla. B. ovata, picea, dense fusco-squamosa ; ca- 

 pita inter oculos baud sulcato ; rostro angustiore, su))ra planato ; pro- 

 thorace transverse, utrinque paulo rotundato; elytris subcordatis, 

 striatisj impunctatis, interstitiis vix convexis, squamis majusculis 

 erectis remote munitis, regione suturali fasciaque ante medium griseis ; 

 corpore infra pedibusque dense griseo-squamosis. Long. 2 lin. 



Hub. West Africa. 



EUPIONA. 



(Otiorhynchingo.) 

 Bryochceta congruit, sed funiculo tenuato, filiformi, et clava ovata, 



normali. 



The only exponent of this genua has precisely the habit of Bryo- 

 cli(Bta\sufflata ; but from this it is essentially differentiated by the 

 normal form of the antennae. 



EupioNA ATTALICA, E. ovata, nigra, squamis roseo-griseis omnino, 

 elytris viridulis exceptis, tecta; capite rostroque in medio longitudi- 

 naliter excavatis, sulco transverse abbreviate; prothorace subcylin- 

 drico, transverse ; elytris subglobosis, seriatim punctatis, punctis ob- 

 longis approximatis, glabris, nigris, interstitiis squamis viridi-aureis 

 micantibus lineatim instructis ; antennis pedibusque vage nigro-setu- 

 losis. Long. 4 lin. (rost. incl.). 



Hab. Old Calabar. 



Antinia. 



(Otiorhynchinse.) 



Ab JBpisomo differt scrobibus profundis, nudia, infra oculos incli- 

 natis, scapo prothoracem haud attingente. 

 In Episomus the scrobes are confined, so to say, to nearly the 

 point of origin of the antennae, or are marked behind by a gene- 

 rally broad shallow impression, which entirely disappears in front 

 and before attaining the eye, and is invariaTjly closely covered by 

 scales of the same character as the rest of the rostrum. The de- 

 scription of this part is not very satisfactory either in Schonherr 

 or Lacordaire. The scape in Episomus impinges more or less on 

 the prothorax ; but here it passes only just within the anterior 

 border of the eye. 



Antinia eupleura. (PI. VI. fig. 3.) A. oblengo-ovata, nigra, 

 omnino dense isabellino-squamosa opalino-lavata, setisque numeresis 

 interjecta; eculis subrotundatis ; capite per strigam transversam a 

 rostro distincto, fronte lengitudinaliter sulcato, pone oculos transversim 

 excavate ; rostro sujjra lengitudinaliter excavate, plaga triangulari an- 

 tice excisa ; antennis squamosis, funiculo art. secunde prime paulo Ion-
