As a result ol* loUowin;;; Faust's inter|)relatiou of the 

 genus C/iiiiinodertis, (Jerst., I sank Cfjchrotonus as a synonym 

 of it (Pror. Zool. Soe. PJOG, p. DoS). It is now clear tliat 

 tindir Clinnnodems F;iust associated insects liaviuf^ two 

 jlislinet types of antennal t-erohes. In the {jenotvpe, 

 C. stujtii/its, Gersl., with which 1 am not acquainted, the 

 scrohes are described as bcinf; of a normal Otiorrhyncbine 

 type — superior, directed straijjht towards the eyes, and 

 disappearing; a little before the middle of the rostrum; 

 whereas \u Cf/c/oo/onNs they curve downwards in front of 

 the eye and extend to the base of the rostrum. Of the 

 described species o\' Chanuodents known to me, the following: 

 must be referred to Cychrotunus: — C. nnir(/inalis, Fst., C. 

 sulxjiaber, F>t., (\ .stenia/is, Ilartm., and C. ojiicalis, Hartm.; 

 wlu-rcas C. l'n'vir(jHLs, Fst., and C. tfuins versus, Fst., may 

 provisionally icmain in Gcrstaecker's genus. 



Cychrotonus idlipticus, sp. n. (PI. I. ?\'^, 7.) 



^ ? . Black or piceous, practically devoid of scaling; 

 above ; the lower surface of the hiad and rostrum, the 

 sternum, and coxae with scattered, fiat, bluisli scales ; the 

 venter with numerous clong;atc, narrow, curved, whitish 

 scales. 



Head with I'athcr coarse, long;itu(linally confluent piincta- 

 tion, the forehead tlat, but not noticcal)ly dc[ircss('d bi-low 

 the vertex; eyes rather less convex than usual, deepest in 

 the middle and bounded internally by a deep furrow. 

 Rostrum longer than broad, rather broader near the base 

 than at the gense, the sides sinuate in the middle : coarsely
