Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new CurculionicUe. 443 furcifer has no more highly developed dermal skeleton than several of the other species of the genus ; that the marginal plates do not differ in any essential degree from those of 8. glacialis 7 endeca, affinis, and papposus • that the skeleton pre-sents no special differences ; and that, as a consequence of all this, there are no grounds for the establishment of a new genus for it. We believe therefore that we have now sufficiently esta-blished the opinion formerly expressed by us, that the genera Crossaster and LopJiaster cannot be sustained. Before closing these remarks we shall think ourselves justi-fied in enlarging the characters of the genus Solaster in accord-ance with the investigations that we have made : — Body with five or more arms, everywhere beset with peni-cilliform paxillas ; between these, tentacular pores. Two series of marginal plates, more or less developed, but concealed by the skin. Anus central. L. — Descriptions of some new Genera and Species of Curcu-lionidse, mostly Asiatic. By FRANCIS P.
