444 MR. F. p. PASCOE ON THE CUKCULIONIDiE. 



ovato-acuminata. OcuU breviter ovales, verticales, grosse gra- 

 nulati. Prothorax cylindricus, basi apiceque truncatus. Elytra 

 breviter ovata, valde convexa, prothorace basi baud latiora. 

 Pedes iiitermedii minorea ; femora in medio incrassata, subtus 

 deutata ; tilice extus recta), intus flexuosa) ; tarsi articulo 

 primo modice elongato, eublineari ; tmguiculi liberi ; coxcb po- 

 sticjB approximatse. Metasternum breve. Abdomen segmento 

 secundo ampliato. 



Agrees in most respects with OtiorTii/nchus, so far as that genus 

 with its 444 species can be characterized, but differing essentially 

 in the approximation of its posterior coxae, to which may be added 

 its curved scape thicker only at the tip, and the cylindrical 

 prothorax. 



PsiDiopsis FIL.ICORNIS. P. nigra, pube pallida grisea supra parce, 

 infra pedibusque magis dense vestita ; rostro supra tricarinato, inter- 

 stitiis basi planatis, apicem versus exeavJitis; antennis ferrugineis, 

 corpori longitudine fere sequalibus ; prothorace paulo longiore quam 

 latiore, leviter punctulato ; sentello baud observando ; elytris striato- 

 punetatis, punctis rude impressis, interstitiis valde convexis, feinoribus 

 infra dente acute instructis. Long. 3 lin. 



Hab. Amazons. 



Telenioa. 

 (OtiorhynchinJB.) 

 liostrum mediocre, capite continuatum, in medio tenuius ; scroles 

 subapicales, superna), cavernosa), postice cito evanescentes. 

 OcuU rotundati, parum prominuli. Antenna) elongate ; scapus 

 rectus, ad marginem anteriorem prothoracis extendens ; ftmi- 

 . cuius articulis duobus basalibus longioribus, cseteris obconicis ; 

 clava distincta. Prothorax transversus, utrinque rotundatus, 

 basi truncatus. Scutellum nullum. Elytra ovata, humeris ob- 

 soletis. Pedes mediocres ; femora incrassata ; tibice intus fle- 

 xuosae ; tarsi normales ; unguiculi liberi, approximati. Abdo- 

 men segmentis 3-4 brevibus. 



In the Australian fauna this genus may bo placed between 

 Merimnetes and Myllocerus ; it has the rostrum of the former, but 

 the free claws of the latter, from which it also differs in the straight 

 scape, as well as from all the Myllocerus forms in the absence of 

 the humeral angle. The second species here described has a very 

 short metasternum ; but I cannot find any other valid distinction 

 of generic importance.
