The new curculionideous insect described by Mr. Wollaston is one 

 of the Cossonides of Schonherr, yet it is so singularly formed, as 

 respects its five-jointed funiculus, that it may be regarded as connect- 

 ing these with the Rhyncophorides, in which a like number of joints 

 occasionally obtains. Mr. Wollaston calls the insect Pentarthrum 

 Huttoni : four specimens were extracted, by Mr. Hutton, from the 

 hard and undecayed wood of a cherry-tree at Alphington, in the vici- 

 nity of Exeter, in November, 1853.
