Id the middle by a band of five white spots : two minute white 
near the apex. Posterior wing crossed beyond the middle by a 
of four minute white spots. 
[Jnder-side as above, except that the spots of the anterior wing 
nailer. 
Exp. 2 inches. Hab. Ecuador. 
Unlike any other species, but nearest to P. Ferita of Hewitson. 
The males of this species have the white spots much smaller, and 
me specimens scarcely visible on either side. 
This and the four preceding species are from the very rich collection

50ME NEW AUSTRALIAN GENERA AND SPECIES OF CURCULIONIDJE 
BELONGING TO THE OTIOBHTNCHIN^. 
BY FRANCIS P. PASCOB, F.L.S., &c. 
In Lacordaire's system, the Otiorhynchincs form one of the sub- 
ilies, or as they are there called " tribes," of that portion of the 
■culionidcs in which the mentum occupies the whole area of the 
ith, and the sides of the prothorax behind the eyes are not produced 
) what is called the ocular lobe. The Australian beetle-fauna con- 
is a number of genera and species almost entirely unknown, or 
[escribed, belonging to this sub-family, and those in my collection 
ing the corbels of the posterior tibiso open, and the claws free,* 
m the subject of the following notes. Some, in habit and colour, 
Lulate species of Peritelm ; others, belonging to the genus Myllocerus, 
5ht be easily mistaken for FhylloUL Few of these insects exceed 
'r lines in length ; the scape of the antennae is very much curved in 
, and the elytra are always striate-punctate, with the interstices 
btish, and often furnished with a row of more or less erect stoutish 
Irs ; the eyes are black, and contrast strongly with the pale coloration 
the scales with which these insects are covered. From their general 
pearauce and the quiet coloration of most of them they are probably 
jquently confounded together and are therefore neglected ; probably 
.t a tithe of them is known. I have found it necessary to divide 
ese insects into four genera, (exclusive of Myllocerus, Schon.), which 
ay be tubulated thus : — 
» The first of these characters excludes /«ommn«;m«, and the second Jfmm»i./«, both genera 
lYing Australian species of very similar habit to tliose treated of in tlus paper.-F. 1 . i".
