MR. V. P. PASCOE ON THE CUROULIONIDiE. 457 



forme. Elytra prothorace baud latiora, basi reflexo-marginata, 

 postice gradatim angustiora, apicibus caudata. Pedes tenuati; 

 femora elongata, subliuearia, infra deute parvo instructa ; tibice 

 subrecta?, apice intus mucronate ; tarsi breviusculi, dilatati, 

 articulo iill;imo elongato ; wiguiculi libevi, divaricati. Goxce 

 anticfo sejuncta). Pectus modice elongatum. Abdomen seg- 

 mentis duobus basalibus ampliatia. 



An isolated genus, but having a marked resemblance to Ecti- 

 nura {ante, xi. Zool. p. 170), but in regard to the direction of the 

 aerobes not to be referred to Ilylobiinse. It may be placed provi- 

 sionally near Aoplocnemis, with which, however, I do not think it 

 has much alfinity. A feAV specimens were obtained by Mr. Buckley 

 in his last expedition.
