Conte it is identical with scutelhirix. 
2. A. liii'SiitliS Bnni. — Differs from scniellaris as {oUows: Beak more slen- 
der and longer than head and thorax, shining and rathei' finely punctured ; 
second joint of funicle much shorter than the first and but little longer than 
the third. The pubescence of the elytra is long and preponderately white, mot- 
tled with fulvous and spots of seal-brown; middle two-(iuarters of sutural in- 
terspace bright fulvous. The outer edge of the anterior femoral tooth is very 
oblique; under surface (dothed with long, white hair. Imng. 5 mm. ; .20 inch. 
Hab. — West Point, Nebraska. 
The above description has been taken from a single S specimen 
in the collection of Mr. E. A. Schwarz, who obtained it from Air. 
Brnuer. This appears to be a distinct species, hut having only :i 
unique specimen for compai’ison, larger series may prove the above 
characters to be inconstant, and therefore consider the matter still 
sub-judice. 
Subgeniis Anthonomocyllus. 
This subgenus has for its tyjie A. elegaus Lee. The beak is long 
and slender, feebly curved, striate and carinate. Antenme inserted 
two-fifths ( S ) or one-half ( 9 ) fVom the ape.x ; scape slender, im- 
pinging against the eye; funicle 7-jointed. Club not closely ar- 
ticulate, .somewhat shining and sparsely pubescent. Eyes convex, 
posterior margin elevated, free. Head globose, punctured and pu- 
bescent. Prothorax convex, wider than long, and about twice as 
long above than below; strongly narrowed in front; base bisinuate. 
Elytra wider at base than the jirothorax, broadly oval and very 
convex ; striato-punctate. Prosternuin very short in front of the 
coxie. Mesosternum rather wide between the coxie, declivous in 
front. Metasternum short. Middle coxie rather widely separated. 
First ventral segment short behind the coxie. Male: segments 1-4 
short, nearly equal, fifth elongate, about twice as long as the pre- 
ceding and emarginate. Female : segments subequal, fifth mR elon- 
gate. Pygidium expensed, convex ; indexed and more freely exposed 
in the male, perpendicular and less exposed in the female. Legs 
rather stout ; femora strongly clavate, all armed with a large, acute 
tooth. Tibiaj stout, toothed or not internally ; jiosterior tibiae curved 
in the male, straight in the female. Tarsi rather slender, third joint 
broadly bilobed, last joint long. Claws armed with a long, slender 
tooth. 
To this genus I refer also A. pnsilhis Lee. and two new species, 
which, while presenting the es.sential characters, differ by the drst
