Obs.  This is a new genus of the Curculionidae, but as I am not able in this place to give the characters of it, I prefer to cite the insect under its Fabrician title.

67.  Rhynchaenus cylindrirostris.  Fab.  Syst.  Eleuth. 2 463. 125.  Oliv.  Ins. 83, figure 128.

Obs.  This insect is altogether as different from the true Rhynchaeni, as the preceding one is from the true Curculiones.

68.  Rhynchaenus bidens.  Fab.  Syst.  Eleuth. 2 457. 96.  Oliv.  Ins. 83. figure 113.

Obs.  This is also not a true Rhynchaenus, but is a very singular insect in appearance, as the acute spine, which rises from each elytron, appears to be its peculiar defence against entomological collectors.

Obs.  This curious insect is said to be found on the Banksia, and would probably, with Linnaeus, have been a Bruchus.  The following are the characters of this new genus.

CARPOPHAGUS (novum genus.)

Antennae ante oculos insertae filiformes articulo basilari crassiori, secundo subgloboso brevissimo, ultimo apice conico acuto,

Labrum semicirculare margine antico integro rotundato ciliato.

Maxillae basi corneae processubus duobus membranaceis apicem versus instructae, lobo externo vel apicali ovali extus ciliato; interno tenuiori lanciformi apice acuto.

Palpi maxillares breves crassi vix ultra maxillarum apicem extensi, quadriarticulati articulo stipitali vix conspicuo secundo obconico tertio subgloboso breviori ultimo ovali obtuso.

Palpi labiales triarticulati articulo stipitali minimo, secundo obconico longiore, ultimo crassiori ovato, apice truncato.

Labium obcordatum basi corneum angustius apice membranaceum medio emarginatum ciliatum lobo utrinque rotundato.

Mentum semicirculare antice rotundatum medio emarginato sive edentulo.
