Obs. — Genus conspicuum colore elytrorum plus minus

The narrowisli, elongate-fusiform outline, and the rather 
short and thick (though parallel, and apically truncated) 
rostrvmi of the insects which compose the present genus, 
added to their slenderer and less abbreviated legs and 
their comparatively lengthened feet (the terminal articula- 
tion of which differs in shape, apparently, according to 
the sex), will serve to distinguish it from the allied groups. 
Indeed, the sexual pecidiarity of the apical tarsal joint is 
very curious, and one which I do not remember to have 
observed in any other Ehynchophorous form, — it being 
ordinary and clavate in the males, but conical (or, rathei*, 
fusiform-conical) in the females, the widest part being
