To Dr. Horn's note on Eustroma we may add that the outer joints 

 of the antennee are compressed and pubescent, the lower joints shining, 

 sparsely punctured and thinly clothed with long fulvous hair; joints 3 — 7 

 spinose. The mandibles are stout and acute, with the outer margin 

 suddenly bent near the tip in ^ (as in Axes/inus) but regularly curved 

 in 9- rhe body above and beneath is punctured and clothed with 

 rather coarse yellowish brown hair; the prothorax has several smooth 

 confluent spaces, the intervals being very coarsely punctured. The 

 elytra are feebly truncate at tip and armed with a small sutural spine.

TYLONOTUS, Bald. 



Contfiins one species of variable size and coloration, distinguished 

 structurally by the strongly clubbed femora and bisulcate antennae and 

 further from the succeeding genus by the callosities of the prothorax. 

 The color is dark brown with part of the thighs and a blotch before the 

 middle and another at the apex of the elytra testaceous. The surface is 

 punctured (only thinly on the elytra) and sparsely pubescent,

Contains again a single species, opaque black in color, clothed 

 with dense brownish pubescence, mixed with erect hairs; prothorax

 not being sulcate, the prothorax having callosities and the legs being 

 piceous.
