NUMITOR (nom. ])ro])i. )', gen. nov. 



A genus of Erirhini remarkable i'ov its verv stout form, long le'i-s, 

 abruptly and strongly clavate femora, and stout lirst juiiu of the funicle. 

 The rostrum is rather more than usually stout, as long as head .nid pi-o- 

 thorax togethei-; the antennae are inserted very near the tip of the beak, 

 apparently nearer even than in I'rocas; the scrobes nni direct) v tow.ird the 

 eye, but the scape does not (piite attain them; the first and second join^ts of 

 the fum'cle are elongated, the lii'st a little lunger than and uearK' twice as 

 stout as the second. Elytra somewhat ot the form n\' those nt' 1 )()r\t<inms. 

 The femora appear to be unarmed, but are stiongh- and abrupth' clavate 

 in their a])ical half or two-fifths; the tilii.e are annate at ba.se and slightlv 

 longer than the i)rothorax, truncate at tii),and apparently not at all mucronate. 



A single species is known and comes from Florissant.
