joints together, thick, liai-dly incrassate. Prothora.c shoi't, 

 sparingly - set with round, prominent, shining, unisetigerous 

 granules ; base closely applied to elytra ; anterior margin lightly 

 sinuate. Elytra broad, substriate. Three last \'entral segments 

 strongly divided ; apical segment not longer than two precedin"- 

 ones togetlier. Leys, light, short ; anterior coxa^ contiguous ; 

 tarsi short. 



Except for the head the species on which this genus is founded 

 has entirely the form of a TalaurinuH. T see no reason for 

 regarding the single specimen before me as different from 

 Cuhicorhynchus cichlodes, Pascoe, though the head seems less 

 convex in profile than is shown in the drawing of the head of 

 Mr. Pascoe's species. It has no close affinity to any Amycterid 

 known to me. Mr. Pascoe says C. cicJilodc.s res. mhles Talcmrinus 

 cricetus, but he does not attribute that species to any author, nor 

 have I e\-er seen any reference to sucli a species exeept this of 

 Mr. Pascoe.

Oval, robust, convex ; prothorax transverse, granulate ; elytra 

 convex, substriate, the interstices granulate. Black ; a laro-e 

 patch of yellowish scales on each side of rostrum below the 

 scrobes ; upper-surface of head, excepting a narrow space in 

 middle ancl the anterior part of the rostrum, thickly covered 

 with yellowish scales ; prothorax thickly covered with brownish- 

 yellow scales, three whitish vittse on upper-surface (one down 

 middle and one on each side) ; elytra thickly covered with 

 brownish-yellow scales ; an obsolete whitish vitta along suture, 

 another very conspicuous whitish vitta on each side between 

 fourth and fifth rows of granules, a broad white stripe along each 

 lateral margin ; under-surface shining, a broad patch of very 

 sliort yellowish scales on middle of each ventral segment • leo-s 

 (particularly the tibise) covered witli white scales. 



Rostrum very broad, short, not divided from iiead on upper- 

 surface, almost vertical on sides ; anterior lamina triangular, the 

 apex rounded, a deep channel just behind it and folio win" its 

 course ; external ridges diverging a little backwards, not elevated 

 along sides of rostrum, continuous with the frontal crests. Head 

 and rostrum flat ; front with a long triangular horn or crest on 

 each side projecting outwards obliquely over the eye in line with 

 the external ridges of rostrum, a light sinuosity where the horn 

 and ^external ridge meet. Prothorax much broader than lono-
