appears, and the rostrum is seen to be concave along the 

 middle, with its sublateral carinae continued to about the 

 middle of the eyes. 



Myllocerus incurvus, n. sp. 



Black ; antennte (the club lightly infuscate) and legs red- 

 dish. Densely clothed with green scales, sometimes vaguely 

 spotted with brown, and occasionally with a coppery gloss in 

 parts ; under surface and legs with whitish or whitish -green 

 scales. Prothorax with stout setae not rising above general 

 level ; elytra with stout decumbent setae, forming a single row 

 •on each interstice. 



Uostriun about as long as wide, sides very feebly in- 

 ■curved ; depressed along middle ; with three carinae, of which 

 the median one is almost concealed, the others almost par- 

 allel-sided on their hind half, but strongly curved about the 

 pits of the scrobes. Antennae long ; scape moderat-ely curved ; 

 first joint of funicle almost as long as second and third com- 

 bined. Prothorax about twice as wide as long, base strongly 

 bisinuate and considerably wider than apex, the latter very 

 distinctly incurved to middle ; punctures of moderate size 

 but normally concealed. Elytra very little wider than pro- 

 thorax, parallel-sided to near apex ; striate-punctate, punc- 

 tures fairly large but more or less concealed. Length (in- 

 cluding rostrum), 5-6 mm.

In the table previously given by me should be placed 

 next to Bovilli, but the incurvature at apex of prothorax is 

 not so deep, the prothorax itself is longer and less flat, and 

 the rostrum is longer and stouter. The prothorax is shorter 

 and flatter than in abundans, apex more noticeably incurved, 

 rostrum of different shape, eyes more conspicuous, elytral 

 setse less noticeable, etc. 



The elytral setae, although fairly stout, are indistinct 

 from most directions. The scales are usually of a bright- 

 green, but on the elytra there are occasionally brown spots, 

 occasionally some of the scales have a slight coppery gloss, or 

 a single scale here and there may be of a fiery golden colour. 

 •On the head and prothorax of one specimen most of the scales 

 are bluish. On one specimen before me (and I have seen 

 others) the whole of the scales are of a dull white. The 

 femora at a glance appear to be edentate, but on close exam- 

 ination an exceedingly small tooth may generally be seen on 

 €ach, but it is quite invisible from most directions.
