NEW. SPECIES OF CURCULIONIDA. A2t 
foveiform. Zyes small, distant from thorax, most elevated behind, 
oviform, coarsely facetted. Antenne moderate ; scape clavate at 
apex, attaining the hind part of the eye; funiculus 7-articulate, the 
two basal joints elongate and nearly equal, 3rd shortest, joints 4-7 
increase ; club short and compact. Pvothovax oblong, base and 
apex sub-truncate, without ocular lobes.  Scwutellum invisible. 
Elytva ovate, widest behind, incurved at base, with porrected 
humeral angles, closely applied to the thorax. Legs not elongate, 
stout ; femora clavate ; tibie flexuose, mucronate at the extremity ; 
tavsi with transversal basal joints, the penultimate superficially 
excavated for the insertion of the terminal joint. Anterior coxe 
prominent, contiguous. Metastevnum short. The two basal seg- 
ments of the abdomen large, the suture obliquely sinuated, 3rd and 
4th excessively short. Body pyriform. 
Allied to Phrynixus, but with the rostrum sub-parallel, or 
dilated towards the base ; the antennal insertion is foveiform, 
but shallow scrobes proceed backwards; the elytral base is 
marginated. 
1413. Pachyprypnus pyviformis, n.sp.—Piceous,a little glossy, pear- 
shaped, uneven, the legs and elevated parts clothed with elongate 
yellow scales, tarsi and antennz obscure red. 
Rostvum longer than thorax, longitudinally carinate, not 
smooth, slightly dilated at base and apex. Head minutely and 
distantly punctured with a distinct inter-ocular punctiform im- 
pression. Prothovax longer than broad, oviform, narrower in front 
than behind, uneven, having two elongate frontal depressions 
separated by a smooth costa, an ante-scutellar depression, and 
many small rounded elevations. Elyiva widest in line with the 
summit of the hind slope, their front angles embracing the thorax; 
striate-punctate, the dorsal punctures large, the apical small and 
placed in fine but distinct strie; the third interstices almost 
carinate ; four or five crested elevations appear on each elytron 
behind the posterior femora. Antenne inserted near the middle 
of the beak. 
Length (rost. excl.), 3; breadth, 13 lines. 
To this genus belongs No. 762, which must be removed from 
Phrynixus so as to stand as Pachyprypnus longiusculus ; it differs 
from the present species in having the rostrum very perceptibly . 
thickened towards the eyes, &c. 
I found my specimen at Parua. 
HIPPORHINID. 
Phaeophanus, n.gen.—Rostrum moderately long, robust, slightly 
arched, gradually dilated anteriorly, triangularly grooved at apex, 
compressed laterally, broadly but not deeply grooved above ; its 
scvobes apical, not linear, oblique, becoming obsolete and con- 
vergent below. Scape not quite reaching the eye, flexuose, 
thickened at the extremity ; fumculus 7-articulate, two first joints 
equal, 3-7 obconical ; ub ovate, tri-articulate. Eyes depressed,
