HORN EXPEDITION—COLEOPTERA. 
EVADOMORPHA, geii. nov. ("I Otiorhynchidartwi). 
Rostrum brevissimum sat crassum, ad apicem (superne visum) vix emargi- 
natum ; scrobes supcniye, cavernosfB, breves, apicales, retrorsum versus oculos vix 
manifestie; oculi modici, rotundati, modice convexi; anteniue ut Evadodis sed 
clava a funiculo minus distincta; prothorax subcylindricus, lobis ocularibus nullis; 
elytra elongata postice attenuato-producta, margine basali distincte elevata; pedes 
modici, tibiis anticis intus denticulatis; corbulis posticis apertis; tarsis modicis, 
articulo 3” quam pnecedens sat latiori, unguiculis liberis; metasternum et abdomen 
ut Evadodis. 
I find it necessary to found this new genus for an insect which I described 
(Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A., XVI., p. 47) as Evas everardensis. Its close alliance with 
the insect I have mentioned above (as being probably Evas lineatiis, Pasc.) seemed 
at the time to justify the location; but if that latter must be taken out of Evas 
(as I am now satisfied it must) my E. everardensis cannot remain there. But it 
could only be in a very polymorphous genus such as Evas would be if it contained 
both (say) E. acuminata., Pasc., and the species referred to above as E. lineatus 
that the latter could be regarded as congeneric with E. everardensis., and therefore 
it becomes necessary to regard E. everardensis as the type of a new genus closely 
allied to Evadodes, but differing therefrom by its rostrum not being triangularly 
emarginate nor furnished with a nitid space at the apex, by its prothorax being 
devoid of ocular lobes—its front margin viewed from the side quite without sinu¬ 
osity—by its tarsi being distinctly longer and having their third joint (as in most 
Curculionidcd) distinctly wider than the basal two joints, etc. 
E. everardensis., Blackb. (19). The specimens taken by the Horn Expedition 
are all of them more or less abraded—some of them quite devoid of scales. I think 
it is owing to tliis alone that they seem to present some differences of sculpture— 
those entirely denuded of scales appearing as black insects with more conspicuous 
sculpture than is to be seen in the squamose examples.

MYLLOCERUS. 
M. Tatei, sp. nov. (33). Oblongus \ squamis loete viridibus confertim sat 
sequaliter vestitus, squamis in antennis tibiisque magis griseis; rostro sat lato 
antice leviter angustato; funiculi articulis basalibus 2 elongatis sat jequalibus; 
prothorace fortiter transverso, ut caput sparsim punctulato, antice vix angustato;
