The two species come from Green River, and one of them is also

Body distinctlv more than twice as long as higii. Head small; eyes 

 oval, transverse, a little pointed lieneath: rostrum nearly half as broa.l again 

 as the longer axis of the eye, about half as long again as thick, straight and 

 nearly ecpial. IVothorax nearly half as broad or high again as long, bullate, 

 hardly naiTower in front than behind, densely punctate. Elytra one-fourth 

 broader at base than the thorax, punctato-striate, the interspaces without 

 lines of bristles, apparently flat and microsc.ipically jiimctuate.
