sharp as in B. frit (B. subcarinatus has no central furrow 

 at all on thorax) by having rostrum very short, and the 

 scape of antennæ also very short, scarcely longer than 

 the width of rostrum. The striae of elytra are rather closely 

 and very distinctly punctured and the alternate interstices 

 are a little raised. 



The species is very rare in Denmark and also in 

 Sweden Thomson states it to be rare, which migth be 

 the explanation of this distinct species being unknown 

 to many authors. 



3. B. Zwaltnae Seidl. In the same work Schilsky 

 states that B. Zwalinae Seidl. is only a variety of B. tem- 

 pestiviis Herbst. 1 dont however doubt that B. Zwalinae 

 Seidl. is a well marked species. It differs from B. tempe- 

 stiviis not only in having the third joint of tarsi a little 

 broader than the second but also in having the elytra a 

 little shorter, not quite twice longer than broad, in being 

 larger and in having the thorax quite white, only with 

 two dark spots at base. 



4. Anthonomiis bitiiberciilatiis Thoms. This name is 

 often stated as a synonym to A., cinctiis Kollar (ref. for 

 instance Heyden, Reitter and Weise, Catalogus Cole- 

 opterorum Europae p. 682). It is however a good species 

 and may be easily known from A. cinctiis by the absence 

 of tooth on the hind femora. 



5. Atnaloirhyncluis melanariiis Steph. This species, 

 which has formerly been placed in the genus Ceiitlwr- 

 rhynchidiiis has by Reitter correctly been separated as a 

 n^^ Qtims Amalorrhyncluis (Bestim mungstabellen der euro- 

 päischen Coleopteren Heft 68, pag.70; Fauna Germanica V, 

 p. 149, 179) as it fails the two lists on the anterior margin 

 of thorax, which are characteristic for Ceuthorrhynchidius. 

 Reitter states however, that the species has the anterior 

 margin of prosternum simple (without any emargination 

 in the middle). On this point however he is wrong. 

 The species has the same deep emargination as the Genus
