same in AoiiycJms, but the tarsi of that genus are triarticulate. 

 In C amptorrhinus the canal is confined to the presternum. The 

 most aberrant species are mcerens, V2ilnercUu8, egens and languiclus, 

 and for each of these it may eventually be considered necessary 

 to erect a genus. Both 7ncerens and vulneratus have a compara- 

 tively short rostrum with rather stout antennae, and the meta- 

 sternum longer than the following segment; egens has also a 

 comparatively short rostrum with stoutish antennae, but the 

 metasternum is .'shorter than the following segment; Imiguidus in 

 appearance approaches Pezichus; it has the femora linear and 

 minutely dentate, the claw-joint very long and thin, and the 

 metasternum longer than the following segment; its clothing is 

 very peculiar. 



Elytra not much wider than prothorax; suture between 

 1st and 2nd abdominal segments straight. 

 Metasternum longer than the following segment.
