 across the declivity; four small spots across base of thorax and a large 

 triangular discal one on elytra dark brown; under surface of body and 

 apical halves of femora sooty brown; antennae and remainder of legs red- 

 dish. Beak one-half as long as thorax, stout, naked and finely punctate 

 near apex; front with an elongate fovea. Thorax subcylindrical, as long 

 as wide, sides straight, feebly constricted near apex, disc finely and 

 densely granulate-punctate. Elytra broadly oval, one-third broader at 

 base than thorax, humeri rounded, sides straight to declivity: intervals

Tribe VIII. TYCHIINI. 



Oblong or oblong-oval, convex, rather robust species, thickly 

 clothed with pale pubescence, sometimes interrupted by brown 

 or yellow spots or bands; beak usually long and slender, the 

 antennae inserted far behind its tip ; scape not passing front bor- 

 der of eyes, funicle 6- or 7 -jointed, club wholly pubescent; thorax 

 without ocular lobes; ventral segments less unequal in length 

 than in Erirhinini, strongly prolonged backward at the sides, the 

 prolongations of the second segment sometimes reaching the 

 fourth, covering entirely the edges of the third (Fig. 22, d) ; tibiae 

 with a spine at tip ; tarsal -claws usually either appendiculate or 

 toothed. Synopses of Tycliius and Tliysanocnemls are given by 



Casey, T. L. "Coleopterological Notices, IV Tychiini" in
