and from the following subgenus in the antennse. which consist of 

 twelve joints(l). In 



Sybines 



We find but eleven, seven of which are anterior to the club(2). 

 Those are deprived of wings. Such is the subgenus 



Myorhinus, Schcenh. Apsis, Germ. 



To which we will unite the genera Tanyrhynchus, Solenorhinus, 

 Styphlus, Trachodes Comasimis, Dej. of Schoenherr. 



We now pass to those which have but nine or ten joints in the 

 antennse, and possess the faculty of leaping. 



Cionus, Clairv. 



The Cioni do not leap, and they have nine or ten joints in their 

 antennse. Their body is usually very short and almost globular. 

 Several of them, together with their larvae, live on the Verbascum 

 and Scrophularia(S). 



Next come those in which the posterior thighs are very stout, 

 which enables them to leap. The antennse consist of eleven joints. 

 The body is short and ovoido-conical. 



Those, whose antennse are inserted into the proboscis, form the 

 subgenus 



Orchestes, Illig. Salius, Germ. (4) 



Those in which they originate between the eyes, that of 



Rhamphus, Clairv.(5) 



In the last Rhynchseni of which we have to speak, the legs are 

 remote at base, and the sternum frequently presents a cavity of more 

 or less extent, which receives the proboscis, and even frequently the 

 antennse. 



(1) The genera Heilipus, Orthorhinus, Paramecops, Fissodes, Penestes, Erirhi- 

 nus, Anthonomus, Euderes, Derelomus, Coryssorncrus, Jtccalopisius, Endasus, Ty- 

 chius, Sternechus, and Tylomus of the same. 



(2) The genera Sybines, Microtogus a subgenus of Tychius, the genus Elles- 

 cus, Dej. Bradybatus (Rhinodes, Dej.). 



(3) The genera Cionus, Mecinus, Gymnxtron, Schoenh., in which the antenna: 

 consist of ten joints; the genus Nanodes of the same, and that of Prionopus, Dal- 

 man, where there are nine. See Oliv., Col., V, p. 106.
