338 MODERN CLASSIFICATION OF INSECTS. 



to this genus, under the name of the Charan^on de la Vesse {Mem., 

 tom.v. t. 6. fig. 31 — 36.) The minute weevils comprising this genus 

 have formed the subject of several valuable monographs by Kirby 

 {Linn. Trans, vols. ix. and x.) and Germar [Mag. der Entomol. vol. ii. 

 and iii.). Gyllenhall and Stephens have also devoted much attention 

 to them. 



Magdalis and some allied genera, placed in the same section as the 

 Attelabidse by Mr. Stephens, and having the antenna; not elbovi^ed, 

 differ in having the scrobes, or lateral canals of the rostrum : they 

 appear to me to be much nearer allied to the Scolytida; than to 

 the Attelabidas. 



The third family, CuRCULioNiDiE* Ze«cA (after the removal of tiiC 

 Attelabidaj), nearly corresponds with the Linnaean genus CurculiOj 



* BiBLioGR. Refer, to the Curculionid^.
