DENDROCTONOMOEPHUS. 







Dendroctonomorphus, Wollaston, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1873, pp. 440, 502, 591, 649. 



Wollaston referred two species to this genus — one from Ceylon (the type), the other 

 from Mexico; and the N. -American Bhyncolus brevis^ Boh., placed somewhat doubt- 



fully in Stenoscelis by Horn, would probably be best included here. The 7-jointed 

 funiculus distinguishes Dendroctonomorphus from Hexarthrum. The antennal club is 

 rounded and abrupt and the scutellum minute.

Rostrum very short, broad, subtriangular, almost continuous with the vertex above, suleate at the base, the 

 scrobes obliquely and rapidly descending to the lower limit of the eyes, the latter finely facetted, large, 

 strongly transverse, depressed, and placed low down at the sides of the large, globose head ; antennas 

 with a closely-articulated, 7-jointed funiculus, and an abrupt, short-ovate, pubescent club, the basal 

 joint of which forms about half of the entire mass; prothorax subcylindrical, truncate at the base and 

 apex; scutellum very small, transverse, depressed; elytra long, cylindrical; anterior coxae narrowly 

 separated ; metasternum considerably longer than the first ventral segment ; legs rather slender, short, 

 the tarsi narrow and with the third joint simple, the claws free ; body narrow, elongate, flattened- 

 cylindrical, coarsely sculptured above. ' 



Type, 0. corrosus. 



This genus must be placed near Dendroctonomorphus, Brachytemnus, and Calyciforus 

 (Wollaston's group V. pp. q.), from all of which it differs in the position of the eyes,

Subopaque above, alutaceous beneath, black, the tarsi and autennae fusco-ferruginous, clothed with a few, 

 very minute, hair-like scales. Head and rostrum densely punctate, the basal half of the latter somewhat 

 convex and sharply suleate down the middle. Prothorax as long as broad, very little narrowed in front,
