NO. 2159. NEW SPECIES OF WEEVILS— PIERCE. 465 



Champion, opulentus Bolieman, cameipes Champion, agrestis Bohe- 

 man, distigma Champion, scalptus Champion, impositus Pascoe, tri- 

 angulijer Champion, dupUcatus Champion, coeruleovittatus Champion, 

 lunaris Champion, Jekelianus White, and sulcicrus Champion. 



From these I have selected opulentus Boheman as type. Schon- 

 herr's (1826) generic name Exophthalmus is preoccupied by Latreille 

 (1825). 



Family CURCULIONIDAE. 



Rhininae, new subfamily (Magdalini). 



This subfamily is b ased on the genus Rhina Latreille,^ 1 802 . Rhina 

 was based on two species larlicornis Fabricius and cerasi Fabrioius, 

 the latter being questioned. Crotch is 1870 designated larUcomis as 

 type. Latreille's 1807 ^ use of Rhina is entirely different and is based 

 on larhirostris Fabricius. In 1810 Latreille cited harhirostris as type 

 of Rhinus. This species belongs to the Cossonidae. To differen- 

 tiate the two subfamilies we will call the curculionid group, Rhininae, 

 based on Rhina, and the Cossonid group Orthognathinae based on 

 Orthognathus Schonherr, the next oldest genus. 



The genus Magdalis Germar, 1817,^ has for its type {aterrima Lin- 

 naeus) armigera Geoff roy. The name Rhinodes Dejean (1821) is a 

 synonym of Magdalis. The genus Edo Germar (1819) is based on 

 ipruni Linnaeus) ruficornis Linnaeus. The preoccupied genus Tham- 

 nophilus Schonherr has for its type violaceus Fabricius, and Panus 

 Schonherr is based on a synonym of harUcomis Latreille. Rafinesque 

 (1815) proposed Rhinostomus as a substitute for Rhina. 



All of these names are at present considered as belonging to one 

 genus with four subgenera, which may ultimately be separated. As 

 the genus now stands in the European check list the genus should be 

 RhiTia Latreille with subgenus 1, Magdalis Germar {Thamnophilus 

 Schonherr, Rhinodes Dejean); subgenus 2, Rhina Latreille (Rhinos- 

 tomus Rafinesque, Panus Schonherr); subgenus 3, Edo Germar; and 

 subgenus 4, Panopsis Daniel. 



The North American species have not been arranged in accordance 

 with the subgeneric groupings. 



Carciliinae, new subfamily. 



This subfamily differs from the Lasmosaccinae by having the front 

 00X88 partly contiguous and from the Rhininae (Magdalidinae) by 

 having the first two abdominal segments partly concave and by hav- 

 ing the pygidium covered, while the claws are single.
