MR. F. P. PASCOE ON THE CTTRCULIONID^. 



prothorace parum latiora, subquadrata. Pedes breves ; femora 

 compressa, antica infra dentata ; tibice brevissimse, fiexuosse, apice 

 unguiculataa ; tarsi articulis tribus basalibus conjunctim breviter 

 triangularibus, quarto elongato ; unguiculi simplices ; coxae an- 

 ticss et intermedia? distantes. Pectus latum, parum exeavatum. 

 Abdomen segmentis 3. 4. brevibus. 



This genus is allied to the last, but differs from it, as well as 

 from Phacelobarus, by the form of the rostrum, which proceeds 

 gradually from the head, narrowing in profile to the apex. There 

 is a cylindrical tooth or spine on the inner side of each anterior 

 coxa, but whether attached to them or to the mesosternum is not 

 quite apparent.

 race valde latiora. Pedes breviusculi ; femora modice incrassata ;

The sole exponent of this genus resembles a small spider, and 

 is quite different from any other Boris known to me. It may be 

 placed with the two preceding genera and with Phacelobarus and
