The three or four s])ecies of this yeiius known behnig- to North 

 America, and an- southern in (listril)ution. It is interesting- to find as nian\' 

 species fossil, one at Florissant, the (tthers at the R<)an luountains and on 

 the White river, ('oloi'a(h>.

 PI. VII, Fig. 7. 



Body very reoidarly ovate, slightly more than twice as long as l)]-oad, 

 the dorsal curve very regular and considerable. Head scarcely less densely 

 and less coarsely jiunctate than the thorax, the eye moderately large, broadly 

 transversely oval, its longer axis about e(|ual to the diameter of the beak; 

 funicle and clul) of antenna' together very much shortei- than the rostrum: 

 this straight at base, Ix-nt or incurved in middle, e(|ual, moderately slendei', 

 and as long as the prothorax, feebly iiunctate. I'rothorax nearly twice as 

 high as long, rajiidlv tapering, tolerabh' full, with no postocular lolies, 

 densely and rather iinely punctate. Flytra broad, well rounded apically, 

 jiunctato-striate, the punctures not very distinct. 



1 Inne jdaced this species in this inodei'n genus because the antenna' 

 seem to agree best with it; the funicle shows the first and second joints of 

 e(pial length, the succeeding vague, the last three of equal length hut 

 slightly increasing width and very short, the club elongate oval and hardly 

 half as wide ag-ain as the ajiieal joints of the funicle.
