TRIBE IX. OTIIKH'KL'IIALIXI. L-'lO 



male, at middle, female; joints of funicle all elongate, subequal, 

 and somewhat obconical ; eyes large, oblong-ovate, flattened; 

 thorax oblong-ovate, strongly narrowed behind, the hind angles 

 prominent, acute; elytra oblong-ovate, convex; femora strongly 

 clubbed toward apex, toothed beneath. The genus is placed in a 

 separate tribe in the Biologia but our single species is more con- 

 veniently included here.

Black, shining, clothed with a very few long, erect, white hairs; antennae

 and sparsely punctate. Thorax very convex in front, tubularly constricted 

 at base, deeply, very sparsely and evenly punctured. Elytra not wider than 

 thorax, very convex, tips rounded; disc with rows of deep, distant punc-

II. OTIDOCEPHALUS Chev., 1832. (Or., "owl"+ "head.") 



This genus, sufficiently characterized under the tribal head- 

 ing, is represented in our territory by eight species. They are for 

 the most part gall-infesting weevils, though Pierce (1916) 

 records some species as breeding in twigs.
