This insect also occurs in Indiana. [8] 



[Is the type of Brachystylus Sch. — Lec] 



ITHYCERUS Schonh. 



I. curculionides Herbst. 



I have always considered the Curculio punctatuhis Fabr. and 

 Oliv. synonymous with this, but G-ermar is of the opinion that it 

 is a different insect. 



Curculio noi-pcboracensis Forster. 



[I consider Pachyrhyncus Schonherri Kirby, Fauna Bor. Am. 

 203, Rhinaria Schonherri Sch. Cure. 7, 2, 369 as synonyms of 

 this insect, — Lec]
