PL vin, Fig. 4: 
This species is placed here with hesitancy on account of the great length 
of the snout, but its general resemblance to the other species seems other- 
wise considerable. The head is very delicately and faintly granulate, as is 
also the rostrum, which is very gently arcuate, and slightly longer than the 
prothorax. The head, however, shows somewhat of a transverse arrange- 
ment of the granulations, giving a subcorrugate appearance. The protho- 
rax has a similarly delicate, circular, but more distinct and densely crowded 
granulation. The sculpture of the elytra is vaguely preserved, but appears 
to be much as in the preceding species.

AULETES Schénherr. 
This genus, of which five species are recognized in the United States, 
is otherwise known principally from southern Europe and the Mediterra- 
nean district, but a couple are found in Tasmania. They are insects of 
small size, closely allied to Rhynchites. They have not before been recog- 
nized in a fossil state, and but a single specimen has been found at Floris- 
sant, Colorado. 
AULETES WYMANI. 
Bei. Bio? A: 
A species agreeing very nearly with our A. ater Le C., except in the 
apparently stouter thorax, striate elytra, and slenderer antennal joints. 
Head transversely striate and faintly punctured, with moderately small 
circular eyes; beak considerably shorter than the head and prothorax,
