 in the original description are twice too large. 



HOKMORUS Honi. 



A genus founded on a single species from eastern North America, still 

 the only one known. To it I have refen-ed a single fossil from Florissant. 



HORMORtJS SAXORUM. 



PI. II, Fig. 4. 



Pro\'isionally, until further material is ol)tained, I place in this genus a 

 species which seems to belong here or in its near neighborhood from the 

 structure and relations of the posterior coxai, the straight suture between 

 the first and second abdominal segment, the length of the antennal scape, 

 the form of the rostrum, and the general facies; but the length and slender- 

 ness of the funicle of the antennae, and indeed of the scape as well, indicate 

 that it should be placed outside of it but in the near vicinity; the third 

 and fourth abdominal segments also are together somewhat longer than the 

 second. The single specimen is, unfortunately, not very well preserved, 

 but shows the tollowing characteristics: Head smooth, with delicate, trans- 

 verse, curving rugae; rostrum (incoiTectly rendered on the plate) straight, 

 declivent, nearly as long as the thorax, stout, being fully half as high as 

 long, equal or suljequal, finely graiudated, the apex rounded; ej'es rather 

 ^small, rounded, not over a third as broad as the rostrum. Antennjv very 

 slender throughout, the scajie enlarged apically but not coanselv, attaining 

 the middle of the eye; funicle exceedingly slender and equal, nearly as 

 long as the head and rostrum together, the club lacking. Prothora.v sul)- 

 cylindrical, equal, without tubero.sities, minutely nigulosc. Klvtra poorlv 

 preserved, but with series of indistinct cu'cular leuticlos, probably casts 

 of rather weakly impressed puncta,
