Mr. Ragonot has placed tliis specie.s under Zophodia, but the en- 

 tire absence of the tongue will not allow it there. Its appearance is 

 very different from the rest of the genus, and I would suppose it 

 ought not belong to the Peoviime, but I have not been able to ex- 

 amine the genitalia.
