I am coiistraiiird to propose a new gcucM'ic iiaiiie for an insect evi- 

 deiitlv beloniiiuy to tlie Cleoiiini, altliDiiali it is impcrtcctK' known, for it 

 can not be ])roiiolit into any ot" the kmtwn genera trom tlu- strut-tnre ot iIkj 

 antenna'. The general appearance ot" tlie insect is that of a sliort-snoiited 

 Lixns, were not the head so much longer, it being more than half a,s long as 

 the ])rothorax, and the arcuate, equal, bhnit-pointcd snont scarcely longer 

 than the head; tlu^ eye is circidar and not vcr\- hirgc, situated in tlie middle 

 of the head; the scape of the antennai does not extend back to the base of 

 the snout by the length of the first joint of the funicle, while tlu; fnnicle 

 alone is nearly as long as the snout, its first joint slender and longest, the 

 remainder stout and subequal, the seventh snbglobular and in no wav form- 

 ing a jiart of the large fusiform club. The thorax is of about equal height 

 and length, scarcely tapering. The base of the ehtra is sinuate. The fore 

 legs are rather slender and not very long. 



A single species is known from Florissant.
