opaque, finely punctate and with very small sparse setiform squam- 

 ules. Sutures 2-4 are very strongly reflexed at the sides. 



Tribe Cozlonertini. 



The few genera composing this distinctly defined tribal group 

 have some characters recalling the preceding tribe, such as the 

 rather large and moderately separated eyes, sulcate femora and a 

 pectoral canal, which affords close protection to the beak in repose, 

 but they differ in their elongate and parallel or rigidly cylindrical 

 form of body, very coarse and close sculpture and partially squami- 

 form vestiture, also in the decussate and feebly toothed mandibles. 

 The pectoral canal is of a very different nature, for here it is shorter, 

 terminating abruptly at the hind margin of the prosternum, and 

 is very deep throughout, with its walls strongly elevated, so that 

 it appears to be on a level above that of the adjoining surfaces. 

 The beak is notably short. In the material at hand there are five 

 distinctly defined genera as follows: 



Tarsal claws slender, free and divergent 2 



Tarsal claws straight, connate at base 4 



2 — Antennal club large, oval, as long as the entire funicle or longer, solid, with 

 very fine and indistinct oblique sutures, the first two segments together 

 constituting but little more than half the mass; beak more or less thick. 

 [Type T. spissirostris nov.] Tsianina 



Antennal club much shorter than the funicle, with transverse sutures; beak 

 more or less slender 3 



3 — Antennal club oval, solid, with very fine and feebly marked sutures, sub- 

 equally segmented, the first two segments subequal; outer funicular joints 

 gradually wider, merging into the outline of the club; prothorax with rounded 

 subinflated sides. [Type /. gravidula nov.] Iotomia 



Antennal club more briefly oval, rather more, although but slightly, abrupt, less 

 densely pubescent, not solid, the sutures conspicuously coarse and deep, the 

 basal segment constituting half the mass; body more parallel and cylindric, 

 with straighter sides, the prothorax in great part with straight parallel sides, 

 oblique at apex; mandibles bifid and decussate as usual. [Type C. squamu- 

 losus Solari ] Coelonertus 



Antennal club similarly small and oval but very abruptly formed, with deep 

 sutures, the basal segment half the length; outer funicular joints not dilated; 

 body and prothorax nearly similar, the mandibles differing, not decussate, 

 the right straight within and feebly crenulate, the left shorter and more 

 obtuse, very slightly emarginate within; sides of the prosternal sulcus not 

 strongly elevated and with concave outer slope as in the preceding, but of 

 normal structure. [Type T. recta nov.] Trinacria 



4 — Body narrowly subcylindric, very coarsely but loosely sculptured; beak rather 

 slender, the antennal club small, oval, with deep coarse transverse sutures, 

 the basal segment more than half the mass. [Type A. hispidulus nov.] 



Anthenius 



The femora are sulcate beneath, subparallel, the tibiae straight, 

 feebly arcuate externally toward base, and the abdomen is very
