STYREUS. 
Rostrum breve, capite multo angustius ; scrobes semilunares, apicales, 
ab oculis distinct. Antenne tenuate ; scapus brevis, articulo 
ultimo funiculi elongato; clava distincta. Oculi rotundati, pro- 
thorace distantes. Prothoraw transversus, basi truncatus. Scu- 
tellum parvum. Elytra modice conyexa, humeris obliquis. Pedes 
mediocres ; tibiw antice rect, intus denticulate, posticee cor- 
bellis apertis ; tarst articulo tertio late bilobo ; wnguiculi liberi, 
approximati, inequales. Mesosternum breviusculum. Abdomen 
segmentis duobus basalibus ampliatis. 
The exponent of this genus has completely the facées of 
Geonomus flabellipes; and notwithstanding the different cha- 
racter of the rostrum, the open corbels, &c., I would place 
them in the same group.
