The above are the principal characters of a minute Coleopterous 
insect belonging to the Curculionide, and closely allied to the 
genus Rhynchites, but differing from that genus in being of amore 
elongate form, in having the elytra extended beyond the abdomen, 
and the antenne proportionately much longer and more slender 
than in the species of that genus. The three joints forming the 
club are less dilated and longer.
