NO. 2159. NEW SPECIES OF WEEVILS— PIERCE. 467 



CARCILU (TRICHOMAGDALIS) CONSPERSA Fali. 



Trichomagdalis consperus Fall, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, vol. 39, 1913, p. 38. 



The name is spelled conspersus at the bottom of the page, thus 

 provmg the original use to be a typographical error. 



A specunen is at hand from Los Gatos, California, in the Hubbard 

 and Schwarz collection. There is no indication of denticles on the 

 femora. The first abdominal suture is as in the preceding species. 



CARCIUA (TRICHOMAGDALIS) ATRATA Fall. 



Trichomagdalis atratus Fall, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, vol. 39, 1913, p. 38. 

 No specimen of this species has come to hand. 



Orchestinae, new subfamily. 



TABLE OF TRIBES. 



1. Front legs normal, non saltatory 2 



Front legs saltatory Orchestini 



2. Prothorax with more or less developed ocular lobes Loncophorini 



Prothorax without ocular lobes Anthonomini 



LONCOPHORINI, new tribe. 

 Ceratopides Lacordaire, Gen. Coleop., vol. 6, 1863, p. 589. 



In Lacordaire's tables the specimens of Loncopliorus before the 

 writer would readily fall in the group Ceratopides, and as Loncopliorus 

 is the oldest genus the tribe will take its name from it. 



The tribe is separated from Anthonomini by the presence of more 

 or less well-defined ocular lobes on the prothorax. Champion has 

 associated the genera Cfhelotonyx, Ceratopus, and AcaniholracUum 

 with the Erirhininae because of these lobes, but it seems better to 

 arrange them in the Orchestinae with Loncopliorus. 



If the genus Loncopliorus were admitted in the true Anthonommi it 

 would be associated in the tables with Chelonyclius , from which it is 

 readily separated by its long beak, its long front legs, its sUght ocular 

 lobes, and the long slender antennae. 



Genus LONCOPHORUS Chevrolat. 



Loncophorus Chevrolat, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, vol. 1, 1832, pp. 215-217. (Not 



Lonchophorus Germar 1824 in Lamellicornes) 

 Lonchophorus Gemminger and Harold, Cat. Coleop., vol. 8, 1871, p. 2498. 



This genus was foimded on two species, ohliquus Chevrolat and 

 parasita Fabricius, of which ohliquus is hereby designated as type. 

 Schonherr in 1836/ designated as type, clievrolati Gyllenhal, which 

 was not origuiaUy mcluded and can not therefore serve as type. 



The genus contams a number of species from the West Indies, 

 Central and South America, of which the four following are char-
