506 INSECTA. 



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

 twelve joints(l). In 



SvBINES • 



We find but eleven, seven of which are anterior to the club(2). 

 Those are deprived of wings. Such is the subgenus 



Mtorhinus, Schoenh. — Apsis^ Germ. 



To which we will unite the genera Tanyrhynchus, SolenorhinuSy 

 Styphlus, Trachodes — Comasinus, Dej. — of Schoenherr. 



"Wie 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 

 antennae. Their body is usually very short and almost globular. 

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

 and ScrophuIaria(3). 



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, Illig. — Salius, Germ. (4) 



Those in which they originate between the eyes, that of 

 Rhamphus, Clairv.(5) 



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 

 or less extent, which receives the proboscis, and even frequently the 

 antennae.

 nus, Anthonomus, Euderes, Derelomtis, Coryssomerus, Accalopistus, Endseus, Ty- 

 chius, Stemechus, and Tylomus of the same.

 cus, Dej. — Bradyhatus [Pkinodes, Dej.). 



(3) The genera Clonus, Mecinus, Gymnastron, Schoenh., in which the antennae 

 consist of ten johits; the genus Nanodes of the same, and that of Prionopus, Dal- 

 man, where there are nine. See Ohv. , Col., V, p. 106.
