On two New Species of Curculionidae (Col.) from the Canary Islands. By Guy a. K. Marshall, d. Sc. Through the kindness of Dr. D. L. Uyttenboogaart I have been able to examine some interesting weevils col-lected by him on the Canary Islands, and among them were two hitherto unknown species, which are described below. Subfamily Cleoni nae. Microlarinus eliasenae sp. n. cf Ç. Derm piceous, the rostrum and legs testaceous brown, the tibiae, tarsi and antennae paler ; the upper surface dusted with grey or fawn powdering. Head with longitudinally confluent punctures and clothed with dark recumbent hairs, except for a narrow median stripe and a triangular patch above each eye composed of white liairs; the forehead flattened. Rostrum strongly narrowed from the base to the antennae and parallel-sided anteriorly, punctured and clothed like the head in the basal half, the apical half almost bare and with sparse fine punctures in Ç, more strongly punctured and hairy in cf; a short median stria between the antennae. Prothorax as broad as long, much narrower at the apex than at the base, almost parallel-sided in the basal two-thirds in (ƒ, slightly rounded at the sides and broadest before the middle in the female; the dorsum flat longitudinally, with close confluent punctation, without any median carina, but with a short shallow median impression at the base ; the disk appearing darker than the sides owing to the setae being sparser and shorter, except for a short median whitish stripe at the apex; the sides with dense longer whitish hairs, which extend on the basal half to a level with stria 5 of the elytra, abruptly curving inwards near the middle and reaching the level of stria 3
