based on Westwood’s figure. The type of Heer’s genus 
Curculionites is C. redtenbacheri, Heer, from Radoboj. This 
shows only the ventral surface, but looks like one of the 
Brachyrhinine (Otiorhynchine). C. marginatus, so far as 
anything shows, could go in the genus Brachyrhinus (Otio- 
rhynchus). Pierce recognises ten families of Curculionoidea, 
and places these insects in a family Psallidiide, on the 
ground that Psallidium was the first published genus. This 
change does not seem to me to be necessary. 
Ceutorhynchus (?) eocenicus, sp.n. (Fig. 2.) 
Elytron convex, 3 mm. long and 2 mm. broad ; inner 
margin concave, outer strongly convex ; base broad, obtusely 
angulate about the middle. There are eight sharp longi- 
tudinal striz, and no visible punctures. The strie are 
about 190 w apart.

Lower Eocene, Woolwich Beds; Peckham. Caleb Evans

‘The specimen is labelled: ‘‘ C. E., Peckham, 841%. Stro- 
phosomus or Cneorhinus.” It appears to have been recorded 
by Smith, ‘ Geologist,’ iv. (18361) p. 40. It does not appear 
to me to belong to the Brachyrhinine, but rather to have 
been an extremely broad-bodied weevil of the Ceutorhynchus 
type, very similar to C. degravatus, Scudd., from the Eocene 
ot Colorado. 
Ophryastites gardneri, sp. n. (Fig. 3.) 
Elytron slightly convex, flattened on disc, about 10°6 mm. 
long and 5 mm. wide ; eight rows of very distinct but only 
moderately large punctures, about 8 in 2 mm., and in addi- 
tion a row of small weak punctures next to the outer margin, 
and a broken row next to the inner margin. The surface is 
irregularly transversely wrinkled,
