This is a narrower species than 5. currucula, more regularly 

 pilose, the rostrum shorter and not linearly punctate, the pro- 

 thorax longer and the anterior tibise stouter and more curved. 

 In both species the scutellum is present but not at all distinct. 



TYCHIIN/E. 

 Eutlela. 



Rostrum filiforme , arcuatum ; scrobes versus apicem incipientes , postice 

 infra rostrum terminate. Antennae median» ; funiculus longiusculus ; clava 

 distincta. Protborax transversus, ampliatus, apice tubulatus, ad latei-a 

 earinatus Scutellum distinctum. Elytra modice convexa, protborace baud 

 latiora. Pygidium nudum. Abdomen normale. Femora compressa , dentata ; 

 tibia; muticae; tarsi breves, latiusculi ; unguiculi liberi. 



I refer this genus to the Tychiinte notwithstanding its non- 

 appendiculate claws, the naked pygidium being, as it appears 

 to me, a more important character although not always present
