 A new genus erected for the accommodation of our 

 Hhyncolus truncorum, which differs from Rhyncolus proper 

 in being more strictly cylindrical and obtusely rounded behind, 

 with a short and subparallel rostrum in the $ (shorter and 

 subtriaugular in the $), the antennse abbreviated and 

 glabrous, with a solid, compressed and obtriaugular club, 

 extremely depressed eyes, unconstricted thorax, thickened 

 femora, which have a faint indication of being obtusely 

 toothed beneath, and the 4 anterior coxge nearly contiguous.

ibid., note. 

 Mr. Gorham follows Thomson in adopting this name for 

 the insect hitherto known to us as seminarius, Linn., which 

 is distinct from Gyllenhal's species of the same name (1813). 

 Linnseus appears to have redescribed his insect under the 

 name seminarius in Syst. Nat., ii, p. 606 ; and, as the 10th 

 edition of that work is the first that consisted of two volumes, 

 of which vol. ii. was published in 1759, atomarius should 

 stand. Gyllenhal, who wrongly identified his seminarius 

 with that of Liun£eus, appears to quote the 12th edition 

 (vol. ii, 1757).
