coxiP not contiguous. Black, sparsely sjsrinkled witli brownish 

 scales, the set;e of dorsal surface fulvous. 



Rostrum short, flat. Head convex, behind ; front slightly 

 rugulose, without tubercles ; frontal crests promineut, conical. 

 Prothorax broader than long (3 x 3-5 mm.), hardly declivous to 

 peduncle ; disc depressed, lightly convex transversely, and very 

 lightly so longitudinally ; a transverse impression nea,r anterior 

 margin obsolete on sides ; anterior margin with very lightly 

 marked post-oculsr sinuations ; base truncate, lightly bordered ; 

 granules strong, tuberculiform, separate, unisetigerous, more 

 thickly placed on sides of disc than on middle ; vertical part of 

 sides granulate rather more than half-way to coxse, space between 

 granules and coxa smooth. Elytra much wider than prothorax, 

 oval (7'5 X 4-75 mm.), widest about middle, shortly rounded at 

 shoulders ; base truncate, declivous to peduncle ; posterior 

 declivity abrupt; disc depressed, lightly convex transversely, 

 hardly so longitudinally ; seven granulate interstices on each 

 elytron ; granules closely and regularly placed, setigerous, those 

 of first and second interstices weak, of third, fourth, and fifth 

 stronger, conical, becoming more prominent towards apex ; 

 seventh interstice with only a few granules near shoulder. 

 Under-surface shining, sparingly sprinkled with pale separate 

 hairs. Legs as usual in genus ; tibiffi ciliate, with rather long 

 fulvous hairs ; tarsi without squamulse on middle of lower side. 



Length, 11 ; breadth, 4-75 mm.

The following species, which T regard as Cv.bicorJiyiichus cich- 

 lodes, Pascoe, I consider it to form the type of a new genus, and as 

 Mr. Pascoe's description is very brief, I now offer a more detailed 

 one. As explaining the apparently greater size of the present 

 example as compared with Mr. Pascoe's figures, it may be 

 remarked that his measurement (length only) is exclusive of the 

 rostrum; excluding tlie rostrum the example before me is five 

 lines long, or only half a line moi'e than Mr. Pascoe gives. 



Notonophes, ". um. 

 Allied to Talaurmus. Form oval, robust. Rostnim Ijroad, 

 flat, not divided from head ; a light, linear, longitudinal impres- 

 sion in middle ; external ridges prolonged backwards to eyes, 

 becoming more prominent behind ; aerobes widening backwards 

 and reaching the eyes. Eyes transversely oval. A large deep 

 fovea on lower side of throat. Antennat robust ; scape about 

 half the length, light, slender at base, gradually thicker to apex ; 

 joints of funicle short, thick, cylindrical, setose : two first about 

 equal, a little longer than others : third shorter : fourth, fifth, and 

 sixth still shorter, equal ; club about as long as three preceding
