Jlttelabus nigripes. Red ; head except at the base, antennae, 

 eyes, legs and breast, black ; elytra punctato-striate ; thighs 

 toothed. Length three lines. Inhabits Georgia. Plate XI. 

 fig. 6. 



This species very much resembles the Jlttelabus analis, but 

 this last has the snout, eyes, antennae, legs and tail black, 

 not the breast ; the elytra, moreover, are but faintly punc- 

 tato striate. They both inhabit on the rose. 



Cryptorhynchus moestus. Punctate ; above dusky, beneath 

 and legs cinereous brown, the latter barred with darker; 

 elytra punctato-striate, with three raised and polished lines 

 on each, sometimes varied with cinereous near the tip ; an- 

 tennae brown; snout longer than the thorax. Length three 

 lines and a half. Inhabits Georgia. Plate XI. fig. 7.

Eccoptus minutus. Punctate : head and thorax black, the 

 last varied with white: snout, antennae, legs and elytra red- 

 ish brown : the last punctato-striate, and varied with 

 whitish : body beneath hoary : snout shorter than the tho- 

 rax. Length little more than one line. Inhabits Georgia.

Anthonomus suturalis. Dusky, shining: upper half of the 

 elytra red : thorax punctate : elytra striate : snout as long 

 as the thorax. Length about one line and a half. Inhabits 

 Georgia. Plate XI. fig. 9.
