CHNOPSIS, Bach. 
This genus is a very small one, containing only three species, which 
are found in Hurope, Northern Africa and Madeira; they are allied to 
Otiorrhynchus and Trachyphleus, but may be easily known by the close 
strong and deep longitudinal striz on the throat ; in C. jisstrostris the 
deciduous mandibles are long and hooked; the two British species differ 
considerably in size and general appearance.
