Genus anomalum, et quoad affinitates dubium, quamvis Anthribidibus, ut mihi videtur, proximum. Corpus 
oblongum, depressum, obscurum setosum ; caput (fig. 8a) in maribus, ante oculos, in cornu utrinque produc- 
tum, postice in collum angustum contractum; antenne rect filiformes 11l-articulate ; mandibule breves, 
crass, trigonz, obtuse tridentate (fig. 34); maxille (fig. 3c) plane subtrigone, margine interno spinis rigidis 
curvatis armate; palpi maxillares abbreviati, conici, articulis tribus basalibus brevissimis; labium (fig. 3d) 
rotundatum, corneum valde setosum, palpis labialibus minimis conicis ; prothorax subquadratus lateribus rotun- 
datis; pedes breves, crassi; tarsis brevibus articulis duobus basalibus subbilobatis, tertio minimo nodiformi, 
quarto longiori clavato, unguiculis 2 simplicibus instructo (fig. 3 e).

Mr. Wollaston speaks thus of the very dubious affinities of this very curious little insect :—‘ Whilst placing 
it in the present position’ [between the Bruchide and Cerambicide], ‘I do so with the utmost hesitation, for 
although in many respects it certainly approaches the Anthribides, yet the structure of its oral organs (as 
evinced by its triangular mandibles and maxilli, and its short, thick, conical palpi) is unmistakeably that of the 
sub-Rhynchophorous Xylophagous groups (such as Hylastes, &c.) at the opposite extremity of the Circulionide. 
Yet its entire conformation, particularly of the antenne, removes it completely from all such forms, whilst its 
4-jointed (or “ pseudotrimerous”’) feet (the third articulation being excessively minute) render its relationship still 
more dubious. Upon the whole, it seems to me to combine the ¢wo opposite extremes of the Rhynchophora (as 
represented by the Hylesinid and Anthribide) with certain setose genera of the Colydiide (such as Sarrotrium 
and Diodesma), in which the body is hispid and the tarsi quadriareulate. Nevertheless, not venturing to assign 
it positively to the Authribide, I have been compelled to place it in a separate family.’
