128 SUBFAMILY IX. OTIORHYNCHIN.^E. 



grizzled appearance. Eight specimens from Georgia without 

 name are in the Horn collection at Philadelphia. 



Tribe III. EVOTINI. 



Beak longer than head, slightly dilated near tip, which is 

 feebly eniargmate; antennal grooves narrow, deep, moderately 

 curved, passing beneath the eyes; scutellum distinct; articular 

 surfaces of hind tibia? feebly cavernous, glabrous. The tribe as 

 above characterized is represented in our territory by the single 

 genus 



XXIY. LACHXOPUS Schon., 1840. (Gr., "woolly" + "feet") 



This genus is distinguished from others of the tribe by having 

 the submentum not pedunculate; mentum broader than long; 

 scape passing hind border of eyes; joints 1 and 2 of funicle 

 longer, subequal, 3 7 shorter, subequal ; thorax bisinuate at base; 

 elytra wider at base than thorax; Imnaeri prominent. 



166 (8329). LACHNOPUS FLORIDANUS Horn, 1876, 101. 



Oblong-oval. Black or chestnut brown, shining; very sparsely clothed 

 with whitish hair-like scales which, on the elytra, are in part condensed in 

 small rounded widely isolated patches; antennae and tarsi dark reddish- 

 brown. Head and beak slightly longer than thorax, rather densely punc- 

 tured, the beak with a median groove. Eyes prominent Thorax oval, 

 slightly broader than long, narrowed at apex, widest at middle: disc dense- 

 ly, coarsely and unevenly punctate, the sides rugulose. Elytra emarginate 

 at base, disc not striate, marked with rows of large, deep, close-set punc- 

 tures; intervals feebly convex, the alternate ones with patches of condensed 

 scales. Under surface finely and sparsely punctured. Length 6 6.5 mm. 



Recorded only from Key West and Cape Sable, Fla., April- 

 June. 



Tribe IV. PHYLLOBIINI. 



Head prolonged behind the eyes; beak short, stout, cylindrical, 

 truncate or feebly notched at tip; antennal grooves short, sub- 

 terminal ; inandibular scar small, on the face of the mandible 

 itself; scutellum distinct; articular surfaces of hind tibia? termi- 

 nal, glabrous; front coxa? contiguous, middle ones feebly sepa- 

 rated. 



KEY TO EASTERX GENERA OF PHYLLOBIINI. 



a. Antennal grooves represented by small subterminal pits or fossae; 

 mentum entirely concealing the maxillae; pubescence of sparse, blu- 

 ish-green, hair-like scales. XXV. PHYLLOBIUS. 

 ao. Antennal grooves linear, curved and directed beneath. 



b. Elytra wider at base than thorax; humeri angulate, often prominent; 



claws connate. 



c. Beak slightly narrower than head, its nasal plate small and incon- 

 spicuous. XXVI. POLYDRUSUS.
