  1, 
  as 
  long

  3-5 
  

   together. 
  Prothorax 
  much 
  broader 
  than 
  long, 
  gradually 
  narrowed 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  

   to 
  beyond 
  the 
  middle 
  and 
  then 
  more 
  abruptly 
  to 
  the 
  apex, 
  the 
  apical 
  margin 
  

   shallowly 
  sinuate 
  throughout 
  its 
  width 
  ; 
  the 
  disk 
  with 
  a 
  boss-like 
  elevation 
  in 
  the 
  

   middle, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  dorsal 
  outline 
  is 
  extremely 
  convex, 
  with 
  the 
  greatest 
  height 
  

   about 
  the

  slope 
  longer 
  than 
  the

  one 
  ; 
  the 
  dorsum 
  

   with 
  coarse 
  shallow 
  reticulate 
  punctation, 
  each 
  puncture 
  containing 
  a 
  scale, 
  and 
  

   without 
  any 
  carina. 
  Elytra 
  broadly 
  cordate 
  ; 
  the 
  striae 
  with 
  strong 
  deep 
  punctures, 
  

   each 
  containing 
  a 
  scale 
  ; 
  the 
  intervals 
  not 
  broader 
  than 
  the 
  striae 
  and 
  subcostate 
  

   on 
  the 
  disk, 
  the 
  suture 
  being 
  shallowly 
  depressed 
  on 
  the 
  basal 
  half 
  ; 
  the 
  scales 
  

   elliptical, 
  much 
  smaller 
  than 
  those 
  on 
  the 
  pronotum 
  and 
  becoming 
  shorter 
  behind. 
  

   Legs 
  testaceous, 
  the 
  femora 
  with 
  dense 
  white 
  scaling, 
  the 
  tibiae 
  with 
  thinner

  ; 
  the 
  femora 
  neither 
  toothed 
  nor 
  sulcate 
  beneath, 
  the

  pairs 
  

   only 
  with 
  a 
  faint 
  carina 
  on 
  the 
  external 
  face. 
  Sternum 
  with 
  the 
  rostral 
  canal 
  not 
  

   exceeding 
  the 
  front 
  coxae, 
  which 
  are 
  not 
  tuberculate 
  ; 
  the

   perpendicular 
  and 
  not 
  excavated,

  Described 
  from 
  a 
  pair. 
  

  

  Faust 
  erected 
  his 
  genus 
  Eulechriops 
  (1896) 
  for 
  species 
  of 
  Lechriops 
  with 
  no 
  tooth 
  

   or 
  external 
  carina 
  on 
  the 
  femora, 
  but 
  these 
  characters 
  are 
  not 
  interdependent, 
  and 
  

   the 
  present 
  species 
  has 
  distinct 
  traces 
  of 
  the 
  carinae 
  without 
  having 
  the 
  teeth. 
  

   Champion 
  has 
  described 
  a 
  species 
  in 
  similar 
  case 
  as 
  Eulechriops 
  squamulatus, 
  but 
  

   it 
  is 
  very 
  distinct 
  from 
  L. 
  psidii, 
  having 
  the 
  rostral 
  furrow 
  extending 
  to 
  the 
  meta- 
  

   sternum, 
  no 
  pronotal 
  prominence, 
  the 
  two 
  basal 
  joints 
  of 
  the 
  funicle 
  equal, 
  etc. 
  The 
  

   only 
  other 
  species 
  known 
  to 
  me 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  mesosternal 
  excavation 
  is 
  wanting 
  are 
  

   Eulechriops 
  scutidatus, 
  Champ., 
  and 
  E. 
  coruscus, 
  Champ., 
  but 
  these 
  are 
  very 
  differently 
  

   coloured 
  insects, 
  being 
  black 
  with 
  well-defined 
  patches 
  of 
  white 
  scaling, 
  the 
  femora 
  

   are 
  sulcate 
  beneath, 
  joint 
  2 
  of 
  the 
  funicle 
  shorter 
  than 
  1, 
  the 
  pronotum 
  has 
  no 
  

   prominence, 
  etc. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Wolcott 
  states 
  that 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  this 
  weevil 
  feed 
  on 
  the 
  fruits 
  of 
  the
