green bands, which extend neither to the suture nor the outer margin, and with a few 

 irregular green patches near the apex. 



D.fuscus, is a trifle smaller than the last, and of a brown colour; the legs and 

 antennae testaceous ; the interstices of the striae of the elytra clothed with small hairs. 

 Both species are from India. 



Stnaptonyx, a new genus of the Erirhinidce. Body of a short ovate form, the 

 thorax very little narrower than the elytra, which are emarginated in front in the form 

 of a segment of a circle ; rostrum about equal to the head and thorax in length, and 

 of moderate thickness, rather suddenly bent down near the middle ; the antennal 

 groove scarcely visible excepting in front, where the antennae are inserted; antennae 

 moderate. Legs rather short, claws united at the base, and very little separated at 

 the apex. 



S. ovatus, black, clothed with small ashy white scales ; antennae and terminal joint 

 of the tarsus ferruginous; rostrum clothed with scales above, carinated at the base, 

 the apical portion acutely margined on either side, and the upper surface nearly flat ; 

 thorax very finely punctured and with but few scales ; elytra strialo-punctated, the 

 interstices broad, and having the scales in small patches, giving a variegated black 

 and pale appearance. Hab. Australia. 



Chelotontx, a new genus of the Erirhinidce, nearly allied to Prionomerus, but 

 differs in having the body of a somewhat longer and more ovate form, the rostrum 

 and antennae longer; the tarsi also longer, and furnished with bifid claws. The claws 

 in Prionomerus, it may be remarked, have a large square appendage at the base. The 

 fore-femora have the same large serrated tooth beneath, and the anterior tibiae are 

 curved as iu Prionomerus. 



C. Batesii is about equal in size to Balaninus nucum, of a bronze colour, and 

 clothed with piliform, whitish scales, those on the elytra forming little patches: ros- 

 trum tricarinated above; thorax punctured; elytra punctato-striated. Length 3£ 

 lines. Hab. Para, Amazons. 



Anom^earthria, a new genus of the Baridiidee, near Cylindrocerus. The female 

 of the species on which the new genus is founded, differs from Cylindrocerus in having 

 all the joints of the funiculus of the antennae obconic, and the rostrum very strongly 

 curved, so that the point is directed backwards ; and the male is distinguished from 

 all other Baridiidee in having the funiculus composed, first, of a very small joint, then 

 a very large oval joint, and with the following joints all nearly oval but decreasing 

 successively in size. The middle tibiae at the apex, the posterior tibiae on the inner 

 side, and the basal joint of the four posterior tarsi are each furnished with a tuft of 

 velvet-like yellow hairs. 



A. cceruleipennis is nearly equal in size to Cylindrocerus signum, but of a narrower 

 form; glossy black, with the elytra purple-blue, a small spot of yellow scales at the 

 base of each elytron, not far from the scutellum : male, with the joints of the funicu- 

 lus clothed with long hairs, and the body with scattered yellow scales beneath. Length 

 3 lines. Hab. Minas Geraes, Brazil. 



Protopalus, Schonherr (Cryptorhynchidai). Mr. Waterhouse expresses an opinion 

 that the characters of this genus are drawn up from a male insect only, and that the
