HORN EXPEDITION—COLEOPTERA. 
latitudine longituclini sequali, lateribus ante medium rotundato-dilatatis postice 
sinuatis. Long. —3 1. Lat. 1. 
Ayer’s Rock. 
RHIPTDOPHORID^. 
EMENADIA. 
Nova^.-Hflllandice^ Gerstiick. (3). This insect agrees so nearly in its remarkable 
colouring and pattern and in almost every other respect with Gerstiicker’s descrip¬ 
tion that I cannot see much doubt of its identity, in spite of several slight discre¬ 
pancies, viz., its small size (Long. 3|' 1.), its prothorax being only slightly elevated 
at the base (the description says “ gibboso-elewatus ”), and its antenna; being, 
except at the base, piceous (the description says “antenme ferrugime ”). The 
species of Emenadia are nearly all very variable in size, and it is quite possible 
that the description may have been founded on a specimen with antenme broken, 
only ferruginous joints remaining. The structure of the base of the prothorax is 
thus the only certain discrepancy, and even that amounts to no more perhaps than 
the use by Gerstacker of a somewhat exaggerated phrase. 
CURCULIONID^. 
EVABODES, gen. nov. (.? Otiorhynchidarmn). 
Rostrum brevissimum crassum, ad apicem triangulariter emarginatum, 
spatium nitidum nigrum includens ; scrobes supei’me cavernosie breves apicales, 
retrorsum versus oculos ut sulci lati obsoleti impi’essie ; oculi parvi rotundati minus 
convexi; antennae breves, scapo oculum vix superanti, funiculo 1 articulate, 
articulis basalibus 2 (his inter se sat sequalibus) quam ccteri (his inter se sat 
aequalibus hand plane transversis) manifeste longioribus, clava libera ovali; 
prothorax ad basin sinuatus, lobis ocularibus sat manifestis; elytra elongata 
postice attenuato-producta, humeris callosis; pedes sat validi sat breves, tibiis 
anticis intus denticulatis corbulis posticis apertis ; tarsis brevibus latis pai’allelis, 
unguiculis liberis ; metasternum minus breve ; abdominis segmenta 3"'“ et 
conjuncta quam 2^’™ fere breviora; processus intercoxalis sat latus. 
Tlie insect for which I propose this new generic name does not appear to me 
to fit very satisfactorily into any of Lacordaire’s “ tribes.” Its general appearance 
is quite that of a Brachyderid, near Evas, but the structure of its rostral scrobes is 
of an Otiorhy7ichid, Ijeing almost exactly as in Myllocet'iis^ although owing to the
