Hy bicus. 



Caput parvum, rotuudatura; ociili laterales; rostrum breviusculum , de- 

 pressum; serobos autemodianie , latorales. Antennae graciles, funiculus ar- 

 ticulis duobus basalibus clongatis, clava distincta. Protborax valde trans- 

 versus , basi ampliatus. Scutellum nullum. Elytra latissima , bumeria 

 rotundatis. Rima ])cctoralis inter coxas intermedias pretensa, apice caver- 

 nosa. Pedes breves ; femora valida , mutica ; tibiae compressae ; tarsi articulo 

 primo triangulari. Abdomen segmento primo ampliato, secundo minore. 



Tlie exponent of this genus lias the fades of Hyhoìn()i"phus 

 melanosomus; it is allied to Sulcus but it has not nearly so convex 

 a body, nor such long linear femora. The small semierect scales 

 are only visible under a strong lens.

 rostrum protborace brcvius , punctatum , praesertim dimidium basale •, an- 

 tenna} tV'rrugineae ; protborax longitudine duijlo latior , crebre punctatus; 

 elytra striato-punctata, stria suturalis Ijasi ol)Soleta, punctis magnis sub- 

 approximatis, interstitiis planatis, leviter jiimctatis ; pedes rugoso-squamosi;

Olii I'Og-onia. 



Rostrum modice elongatum , apicom versus dejiressum ; scrobes anteme- 

 dianae , laterales. Antennae funiculo articulis tribus ultiniis transversis ; 

 clava elongato-ovata. Oculi grosse granulati. Protborax transversus, apice 

 breviter tubulatus. disco planato utrinque acute marginato. Elytra con- 

 vexa, protborace latiora. Rima ijectoralis ad coxas intermedias protensa, 

 apice aperta. Femora sublinearia, dente jiarvo instructa; tibiae flexuosae; 

 tarsi articulo primo subelongato. Abdomen segmento secundo tertio vel 

 quarto paulo longiore. 



An anomalous genus but referri ble to the Tylodes-gvonp, its 

 exponent, owing to its remarkable protborax, in which it re- 

 sembles Dereliosus, has the fades of an Opalrum; it appears to 

 have a scutellum closely embraced by the elytra, bat it is not 

 obvious. 



213. C. opatroides, n. sp. Suboblonga, squamositate sordide grisea dense 

 tecta; rostrum dimidio apicali nitidissinumi , subtiliter punctatum, basi squa- 

 mosum ; antennae ferrugineae, articulis duobus basalibus aequalibus ; protborax 

 antice rotundatus, basim versus angustior, fere impunctatus, in medio Ion-
