margins with about five obtuse dentations, the two anterior 

 the larger, also with a small one in front of subapical impres- 

 sion; disc moderately closely set with small, round, slightly 

 depressed, umbilicate, setigerous granules ; sides with granules 

 distinct above, obsolescent towards coxae. EJ ijtra (7 x 4'5 

 mm.) feebly convex on disc, strongly declivous posteriorly; 

 base with small granules at the ends of the first, third, and 

 fifth interstices; punctures small, regular; intrastrial granules 

 not traceable; interstices little raised, each with a row of 

 small granules, obsolete anteriorly, becoming distinct towards 

 the sides and posteriorly; lateral interstices not granulate. 

 Beloiv, feebly depressed over basal ventral segment; sub- 

 glabrous, with small, scattered, setigerous punctures; apical 

 segment with punctures closer together, and rather coarser, 

 especially towards apex. Posterior tibiae moderately long, 

 strongly curved forwards towards apex, the apical end very 

 slightly thickened, the inner-surface set with small granules; 

 the anterior tibiae also strongly curved, though less so than 

 the posterior; the intermediate pair feebly curved. 



9 . Similar to male ; convex beneath, the apical segment 

 with finer punctures, though closer than on the other seg- 

 ments ; the tibiae less strongly curved than in the male. 

 Dim. — Male, female, 10 x 4'5 mm.

At first sight the tibiae appear to be evenly curved 

 throughout, but the basal portion is almost straight, the cur- 

 vature occurring in the apical half. The serrate pro thorax 

 would associate this species with C . crenicollisy Waterh., from 

 which the tibial curvature, inter alia, will separate it. The 

 anterior femora are contiguous, which, in addition to many 

 other features, will separate it from C . hohemanni and C. 

 occulfus. C. maculatus and its allies may be readily dis- 

 tinguished by their non-serrate prothorax and different tibial 

 structure. 



CUBICORRHYNCHUS STRIGICOLLIS, n. Sp. 



d . Of average size and appearance ; prothorax 

 rotundate, with widely separate granules, strigose between. 

 Black; clothing- dark-grey, squamose ; setae light. 



Rostrum feebly concave above, the lateral margins little 

 raised; the upper-surface somewhat rugose. Head flattened 

 in front, separated from rostrum by a transverse impression; 

 rather closely and finely longitudinally and obliquely strigose, 

 with a few indistinct granules amongst the strigae; the back 

 of the head very finely strigulose ; supra-ocular crests small, 

 almost upright. Scape moderately long, rather thin. 

 Prothorax (3'5 x 4'5 mm.) strongly rounded on the sides;
