Subgeniis Coccotorus Lee. 
Beak about as long as head and jirotliorax ; cylindrical and slightly 
widened at apex, nearly straight, carinate from base to apex, striate 
each side ; coarsely punctured ( S ), perfectly smooth beyond the in- 
sertion of the anteniue in the female. Antenna long and slender, 
inserted one-cpiarter ( % ) or one-third ( 9 ) from the ajiex. Scape 
long and slender, slightly thickened at the distal end. Funicle 7- 
jointed, first joint elongate, second longer than the third ; joints 3-7 
snbturbinate. Club elongate oval, pubescent; joints of about equal 
length and rather closely connected. Eyes rather small, round and 
very prominent. Head punctured and pubescent ; front deeply fo- 
veate. Prothorax wider than long ; sides rounded in front, con- 
stricted at a]>ex. Surface coar.sely and irregularly punctured and 
densely clothed with long, coarse ])ubescence, except a narrow, smooth 
dorsal line, extending from base to about the middle. Elytra oblong, 
wider at base than the prothorax. Striie fine, punctures small ; the 
third and fifth interspaces are tufted at base. Metasteruum about 
as long as the first yentral segment; third and fourth segments to- 
gether, scarcely longer than the second. The fifth segment is deeply 
emargimite in the male, subtruucate in the female. The i)ygidium 
is fully ex[)osed, inflexed ( S ) or perpendicular ( 9 )• Legs moder- 
ately stout ; femora clavate, toothed. Tibim nearly straight, ante- 
rior bisinuate internally. Tarsi long, third joint deejily bilobed, 
fourth long and slender. Claws not approximate at base, and armed 
with a long tooth. 
The two species are distinguished as follows : 
Beak not longer than lieacl and thorax and more coarsely punctured. Outer 
edge of anterior femoral tooth nearly ]ierpendicular. Puhescence of elytra 
fine scutollaris Lee. 
Beak slender, longer than head and thorax, more finely and less densely punc- 
tured. Outer edge of anterior femoral tooth very oblique. Elytra coarsely 
pubescent liirsiit iis Brun.

of surface clothed with a fine, pale grayish pubescence, except the first inter- 
spa(re, which is more or less fulvous. Femoral teeth rather large; outer edge of 
tooth of anterior thigh straight, or nearly perpendicular. Long. 5 — 6 mm.;
