cimens before me are also sparsely clothed, whilst inconspicuus is 

 described as densely squamose. One of the specimens is labelled 

 "Victoria", but almost certainly in error. 



Steno cor ij nus apicipennis n. sp. 



Black. Appendages more or less diluted with red. Mod- 

 erately densely clothed witb scales and setae varying from white 

 to black ; with a feeble greyish fascia at summit of posterior 

 declivity. Club with black sensitised pubescence. 



Rostrum rough and dilated towards apex ; with a rough 

 median Channel, along the middle of which is a somewhat irregulär 

 carina ; with coarse punctures , becoming denser and much finer 

 on apical plate. Antennae moderately stout ; second Joint of 

 funicle distinctly longer than first, and about once and one half 

 the length of third. Prothorax moderately transverse ; surface 

 very uneven and with large irregulär punctures. Elytra very 

 Wide, at its widest almost thrice the width of prothorax, dilated 

 to beyond the middle and then suddenly and strongly narrowed, 

 but apex itself lobed ; with somewhat irregulär rows of large 

 deep punctures, fourth interstice feebly raised, but at summit of 

 posterior declivity suddenly and largely thickened, seventh inter- 

 stice slightly thickened at the same position. Length (excluding 

 rostrum) 10 — 12 mm.

An unusually wide species ; the apex of the elytra at a 

 glance appears to be strongly trilobed , with the lobes level on 

 their apical margin, but the median lobe is seen to be composed 

 of two small mucros, whilst the outer lobes are seen to be rather 

 large tubercles. Seen from below the elytral margins embrace 

 the abdomen as usual, instead of suddenly changing their direction 

 as in Alleni. One specimen has the antennae, part of the mouth 

 and legs of a rather bright red, but in two others the antennae 

 are almost black, whilst the legs are not much paler. 



Stenocorynus alh oline atus W. S. Macl. 



I have recently examined the type of this species. In 

 Master 's catalogue it is given as a synonym of lateralis Boh., 

 but this is probably not the case. I think it more likely that 

 lateralis is the species subsequently described by Pascoe under the 

 name of marginatus. The type of albolineatus has the rostrum 

 unusually wide, with a strong median carina abruptly beginning 

 and ending. The second Joint of its funicle is about once and 

 one half the length of the first. On the elytra its fourth (owing 

 to the irregularity of the punctures in some places it appears to
