454 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
ENOMIDES, gen. nov. 
Rostrum moderately stout, curved, not longer than the head and prothorax, the scrobes descending to the 
lower limit of the eyes, but well separated beneath, the eyes large and rounded ; antenne rather slender, 
the funiculus 7-jointed, the joints freely articulated, the club ovate and with distinct sutures; pro- 
thorax with broad ocular lobes; scutellum wanting; elytra ovate, with nine rows of punctures and 
also a short tenth row at the sides anteriorly, truncate and not wider than the prothorax at the base ; 
prosternum rather long, deeply excavate in front for the reception of the rostrum; anterior coxa 
contiguous ; intermediate coxe narrowly separated, the mesosternum slightly depressed between them 
and not protuberant in front; metasternum short, a little depressed in the middle, the episterna not 
visible; ventral segments 3 and 4 together rather longer than 2 or 5, the latter subequal in length; 
legs comparatively elongate ; femora clavate, unarmed; tibie sinuous within, armed with a strong claw 
at the outer apical angle; tarsi with joint 3 strongly bilobed, the claws simple and divergent; body 
apterous, squamose. 
The single species belonging to this genus has the general facies of an Acalles, 
but it differs from the “'Tylodides” in the contiguous anterior cox, the open rostral 
canal, &c. Micralcinus cribratus, Lec., from Florida, is perhaps an allied form. 
1. Enomides ovipennis, sp.n. (Tab. XXII. figg. 9, 9a, 3.) 
Oblong-ovate, convex, black, somewhat shining, variegated with rather coarse brown and blackish scales, the 
vestiture of the apical half of the elytra and that of the under surface dense and uniformly brown, the 
femora faintly annulate, the entire surface also set with scattered decumbent, blunt, setiform seales. 
Head rugulosely punctate, shallowly foveate between the eyes, the latter somewhat widely separated ; 
rostrum about as long as the prothorax in the ¢, and a little longer in the 9, rugulosely punctate, the 
antenne inserted towards the apex in the ¢, and at one-third from the tip in the 9, joints 1 and 2 of 
the funiculus subequal in length. Prothorax nearly as long as broad, rounded at the sides, narrowed and 
constricted in front, and also narrowed behind, truncate at the base; rather coarsely, confluently 
punctate. Llytra ovate, considerably produced at the apex; seriato-foveolate, the interstices somewhat 
raised, especially 3 and 5, minutely punctulate and sparsely granulate. Beneath densely, finely 
punctate. Posterior tibie hollowed and fulvo-ciliate at the apex within in the ¢. 
Length 43-6, breadth 2-23 millim. (d¢ @.)

' LEPILIUS, gen. nov. 
Rostrum stout, curved, as long as the head and prothorax, the scrobes descending to the lower limit of the eyes ; 
antenne with a slender 7-jointed funiculus, the club ovate, with distinct sutures ; eyes lateral; prothorax 
with moderately developed ocular lobes; scutellum not visible ; elytra rotundate-ovate, 10-striate ; 
prosternum with a deep rostral canal; anterior coxa moderately, the others more or less widely 
separated ; mesosternum depressed, not raised at the sides anteriorly ; metasternum extremely short, not 
half the length of the first ventral segment, hollowed in front for the reception of the tip of the rostrum, 
the episterna moderately broad; ventral segments 1 and 2 long, separated by an arched suture, 3 and 4 
very short, these two together not longer than 5; legs short; femora unarmed ; tibie truncate at the 
apex, strongly unguiculate at the outer apical angle; tarsi with joint 3 bilobed, the claws small, simple, 
and divergent. 
The minute species referred to this genus has quite the facies of Acalles, but it has 
the mesosternum depressed and the rostral canal open behind. From Microhyus it 
may be separated by the extremely short metasternum, &c.
