TRIBE XIX. ZYGOPINI. 423 



C. clispersus Casey, 1897, 678, is a variety of longulus described from 

 Canada and Kentucky, having the body stouter, the thoracic scales larger 

 and forming a denser and more even crust. The eyes are said to be almost 

 contiguous at or below the lower fourth of front, whereas in longulus they 

 are nearest at middle of front. 



III. EULECHRIOPS Faust, 1800. 

 (Gr., "beautiful" -f "oblique" + "eye.") 



This name has priority over Zygomicrus Casey, established 

 for Copturns ininutits Lee., which differs from the species of 

 Cylindrocopturus in the characters given in the generic key; also 

 in its eyes being less separated and in its shorter second funicular 

 joint, which is but slightly if any longer than third. 



656 (8819). EULECHRIOPS MINUTUS Lee., J. E., 1824, 171. 



Oblong-subcylindrical. Head and usually the thorax blackish, the 

 latter with a stripe each side and a small median basal spot of white scales; 

 beak, antenna?, legs, elytra, and sometimes the thorax, reddish-brown, 

 the elytra with a broad basal band, an oblique band behind middle, a nar- 

 row apical margin and an interrupted sutural line, of white scales; under 

 surface and legs thinly clothed with similar scales. Beak as long as thorax, 

 rather stout, curved, finely and sparsely punctate, scaly near base. Thorax 

 subcylindrical, as wide as long, coarsely and densely reticulate-punctate. 

 Elytra but slightly wider at base than thorax, sides parallel to middle, 

 thence feebly converging to apex, stria? fine, rather coarsely punctate; in- 

 tervals flat, finely rugose. Length 2 mm. 



Orange Mts., Jamesburg, Highlands and Anglesea, N. J., July. 

 Jeannette, Pa. Highlands, N. C., June. Occurs mainly on oak ; 

 Ranges from New Jersey and western Pennsylvania, south to 

 Georgia 



IV. ACOPTUS Lee., 1876. (Gr., "without" -f "cut tail.") 



Rather small, subcylindrical species having the beak as long 

 as thorax, cylindrical, curved ; antennae stout, inserted near its 

 middle, club large, the first joint forming two-thirds of its bulk ; 

 second joint of funicle shorter than first, equal to third ; ventral 

 surface nearly horizontal, its second segment half the length of 

 first, third and fourth shorter, subequal, fifth slightly longer, 

 broadly impressed. 



657 (8820). ACOPTUS SUTURALIS Lee., 1876, 264. 



Elongate, subcylindrical. Black, above densely clothed with hair-like 

 gray and blackish-brown scales, the latter covering the center of disc of 

 thorax and forming a broad dark band across the elytra at or just behind 

 their middle; suture from base to middle, and under surface densely clothed
