r*toiycus. 



Rostrum tenue , basi baud crassius ; scrobes antemodiana? , laterales. 

 Antennae articulis quinque ultimis funiculi moniliformibus. Oculi rotundati, 

 grosse granulati. Protborax broviusoulus, utrinque apicem versus rotun- 

 datus, basi truncatus, lobis ocularibus ciliatis. Scutellum nullum. Elytra 

 basi protborace baud latiora. Rima pectoralis ante coxas intermedias ter- 

 minata, apice cavernosa. Femora sublinearia, mutica, infra canaliculata; 

 tibiae flexuosae, apice mucronatae; tars-i angusti, articulo penultimo angusto 

 bilobo. Abdomen segmento basali ampliato. Corpus valde convexum. 



Closely allied to Salcus, but with more slender tarsi, the pe- 

 nultimate joint narrowly bilobed and the pectoral canal not 

 extending to between the intermediate coxae. There are several 

 undescribed species allied to this and other Acalles-forms in my 

 collection which cannot be referred to any rigidly defined ge- 

 nera; this genus is comparatively an exception.
