DESCRIPTION. 



Like the preceding species but smaller: the upper lip is blacker, not half so long and slightly 



eraarginate : the elytra are dark and the legs pale chestnut ; the furrows of the former are less 



conspicuously punctured : the frontal impressions likewise are longer and connected by a slighter 

 furrow.

DESCRIPTION. 



This species has a good deal the aspect of Bradytus apricarius, but it is a larger insect and 

 rather wider in proportion ; and the bifid intermediate tooth of the lower lip proves that it is a true 

 Curtonotus. Body piceous, above bronzed. Upper-lip, palpi, antenna?, side-covers, and legs all 

 rufous, nose at the anterior margin has an obtusangular sinus ; frontal impressions punctiform con- 

 nected by a slightly-drawn line or furrow : prothorax wider than long, the lateral margins forming 

 a segment of a circle without any posterior constriction ; at the base the prothorax is depressed, 

 the basilar impressions are bisulcate, the inner furrow being the longest : furrows of the elytra 

 punctured.

Many specimens taken in Lat. 54°. 



1 I suppose the trivial name of this species, lucublandus, is derived from lucus and blandus, an untranslatable epithet, I 

 have therefore given it an English termination.
