Mr. L. KalshoVEN, of Salatiga, Java, has recently submitted to me 

 for identification three species of Curculionidae that are injurious to various 

 forest trees in Java. So little has been published on the weevils of Java 

 that it is hardly surprising that all these three species prove to be new to 

 science, and descriptions of them are submitted herewith. The types have 

 been deposited in the British Museum. 



Subfamily Tychiinac. 



Endaeus calophylli, sp. n. 



(ƒ 9' Omnino flavus, tenuiter flavo-tomentosus, oculis nigris; rostro 

 crebre punctato, in parte basali linea media impunctata et ad latera utrinque 

 sulcis duobus instructo, margine superior! scrobis carinato; antennis in 

 utroque sexu ultra medium insertis, funiculo sex-articulato; prothorace trans- 

 verso, lateribus rotundato, maxima latitudine paulum ante medium, margine 

 apicali subsinuato quam basali angustiori, subtiliter aciculato, punctis remotis 

 setiferis parum profundis impresso; elytris ovatis, evidenter striatopunctatis, 

 interstitiis latis perparum convexis aciculatis, setis recumbentibus in singulo 

 bifariam irregulariter instructis; femoribus crassis spina magna armatis, 

 tibiis in dimidio apicali dilatatis, tarsorum unguiculis dente basali instructis. 

 Long. 2.5 mm.; lat. 1.5 mm. 



Head finely punctulate and with sparse recumbent pubescence; the 

 forehead more strongly punctate and as broad as the antennal club; a very 

 shallow rounded depression on a level with the hind margin of the eyes, 

 which are convex and rather coarsely facetted; the lower surface finely 

 striolate trransversely. Rostrum slightly longer than the prothorax ((ƒ) or 

 nearly as long as the head and prothorax ($), fairly stout, subcylindrical, 

 moderately curved, rather strongly punctate behind the antennae, and there 

 with two shallow punctate sulci on each side and a smooth median line 

 which bears a short stria between the antennae; the apical area with finer 

 and more remote punctures in the $; the upper edge of the scrobe carinate 

 and brown in colour. Antennae with the scape slender, clavate; the
