Body relatively- slender and cldiiiiatc, the dorsal surface not very 

 stronorly arched. Hcjid moderately lar<re, appres.scd, flic lustrnni spi-in-iin^r 

 from it abruptly, more than twice as hi<rli as lonjr; eyes obscure, apparently 

 broad oval, transverse, and of moderate size; rostruTii straight, e(]ual, mod- 

 erately stout, scarcely lonjrer than the protlmrax. I'rothorax fully half as 

 high again as long, tapering a little with a slioht fullness, the surface ob-

ORCHESTES llliger. 



This <renus is tolerably well stocked witli species, especially in the 

 Old World. In the New World a coujjle of species are found in South 

 America and nine species in North America. A single species has been 

 found fossil at Florissant. 



Okchestes languidulus. 



PI. VI, Fig. 8. . 



I refer this Antlionomid to Orchestes maiidy from its general appear- 

 ance, and becau.se its large eyes are so close above as almost to touch. The 

 head, however, and Ixak are very obscure, l)ut appear to be bent over so 

 as to receive tlie beak upon or nearly upon tlic linast: the I )eak appears 

 to be hardly longer than the head, .scarcely an luite and stout; the surface 

 of the head appears to be feeldy pnucrnte. Thorax coarsely, (Mpially ;ind 

 rather do.sely punctate, lialf as hioh again as long, tapering only a little. 

 Elytra more than twice as long as l)road, not greatly broader in the middle 

 than at base, puuctato-striate, the jjuncta of the same size as on the thorax.
