Oditesus. 

 Caput antice subplanatum vel leviter excavatum, supra oculos ele- 

 vatum ; rostrum capite angustius et longius, basi supra elevatum, 

 bicornutum ; scrobes flexuosae, obliquse, infra oculos evanescentes. 

 AntenncB ut in Euomo. Oculi rotundati, ampliati. Protliorax 

 suboblongus, utrinque rotundatus, basi apice subaequali ; lobia 

 ocularibus prominulis. Elytra obovata vel elliptica, postice de- 

 clivia, humeris vix productis, singulo crista 3-4-dentata oblique 

 instructo, apicibus ad suturam aliquando perparum emarginatis. 

 Pedes longiusculi, ubique setigeri ; femora parum incrassata, 

 flexuosa; tibicexQci^; tarsi hispidi, antici et intermedii modice 

 dilatati, postici angusti, articulis duobus basalibus longitudine 

 sequalibus. Abdomen segmentis tertio quartoque conjunctim se- 

 cundo brevioribus. Corpus oblongo-ovatum. 



The species of this genus are very homogeneous in point of 

 liabit, the head and rostrum affording some of the most pro- 

 minent characters. 0. huceros differs in having no spines on 

 the dorsal portion of the elytra. They all apparently vary in 

 the amount of squamosity, some being prettily varied with 

 white ; the scales probably drop off with age. The females 

 appear to be smaller and more ovate.
