90 INSECTA. 



Brachypus. * 

 In that of 



Balaninus, 



We find very singular Rliynchophora ; their proboscis is at least as 

 long as the body, and sometimes much longer. The larva of one 

 species — Rhynchcenus micum, Fab. — feeds on the filbert f. That of 



Rhvnch;enus proper, 



Only differs from the preceding subgenera in negative characters, 

 and from the following subgenus in the antennse, which consist of 

 twelve joints j-. In 



Syeines 

 We find but eleven, seven of which are anterior to the club §. 

 Those are deprived of wings. Such is the subgenus 



Myorhinus, Schoerth. — Apsis, Germ. 



To which we will unite the genera Tanyrhynchus, Solenorhinus, 

 Stypldus Trachodes — Comasiniis, Dej. — of Schoenherr. 



We now pass to those which have but nine or ten joints in the 

 antennae, and possess the faculty of leaping. 



CiONus, Clairv. 



The Cioni do not leap, and they have nine or ten joints in their 

 antennte. Their body is usually very short, and almost globular. 

 Several of them, together with their larvae, live on the Verbascum 

 and Scrophularia ||. 



Next come those in which the posterior thighs are very stout, 

 which enables them to leap. The antennae consist of eleven joints. 

 The body is short and ovoido-conical. 



Those whose antennae are inserted into the proboscis, form the 

 subgenus 



Orchestes, //%.— Salius, Germ.*^ 



Those in which they originate between the eyes, that of 



Rhamphus, Clairv. * * 



In the last Rhynchaeni of which we have to speak, the legs are 

 remote at base, and the sternum frequently presents a cavity of more 



* The geneia Bmchypus, Brachonyx, Tanysphyrus, Anoplus, of Schoenherr. 

 ■f The geneia Balaninus, Antliarhinus, Erodiscus, of the same. 



X The genera Heilipus, Orthorhinus, Paramecops, Pissndes, Penestes, Enrhinus, 

 Anfhonomiis, Euderes, Derelomus, Coryssomei-v.s, Accalopistus, Endaiis, Tychivs, Ster- 

 nechus, nadTylonms, of the same. 



§ The genera Sybines, Microtoyus — a subgenus of Tj'chius, the gemis EUesnts, 

 Dej. — BruCyhatus {Rhinodes, Dej.) 



II The genera Clonus, Mecinus, Gymncetron, Schoenh., in ■which the antennae con- 

 sist of ten joints; the genus Nanodes of the same, and that of Prionopvs, Dalman, 

 where there are nine. See Oliv., Col., V, p. 106.
