1. 11. ooblaris Fabr. — The three ultimate joints of the an- 

 tennas are elongated, differing in this respect from the other spe- 

 cies of the genus ; it has been separated under the generic name 

 of Sapindus. 



The species varies so much in color as to have given rise t 

 several specific names, viz. : 



Anthribus collaris Fabr. Syst. Eleut. 



Rhynchites angustatus Herbst. [5 ] 



Rhynchites rubricollis nob., Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci,* and Melsh. 

 Catal. 



Rhynchites nigripes Melsh.; quercus Knoch. in Melsh. Catal. 



Rhynchites rvficollis Germar, Sp. Nov. p. 188. 



The latter is very remarkable in having the thorax of the same 

 color as the elytra. Dejean in his Catalogue places the species 

 in the genus Rhinomacer.

Doubts have been expressed of our insect being the hirtus oi 

 Fabr., but it agrees better with the description than any. It is 

 also, as Fabricius says, of the stature and magnitude of A', pubes-
