54 TERTIARY RHYNCHOPHOROUS COLEOPTERA. 
as long as the scape, the three joints subequal and indicated only by the 
suture. Thorax truncate at both extremities, without ocular lobes or fimbriz. 
Klytra apparently wider than the thorax (none of the specimens are pre- 
served with a dorsal view), with rounded humeri. Second segment of the 
abdomen equal in length to the two following together, separated from the 
first by a straight suture. Apparently none of the tibia are mucronate at 
tip; tarsi rather slender. 
This genus seems to belong to the Evotini. The mesosternal side 
pieces are diagonally divided and subequal, and the metathoracie episternum 
is moderately broad; there are clearly no ocular lobes nor fimbrize on the 
prothoracic margin behind the eyes; the tenth stria of the elytra is free, and 
the head is not prolonged behind the eyes. It differs, however, from any 
of the genera known to me, autopically or by description, in the length and 
slenderness of the antenne. It seems to belong nearest to Lachnopus, 
which is represented in our living fauna by a single species in Florida, but 
by many others in the West India islands. 
Two fossil species are known, both from Florissant.

Form oblong, rather compact. Head, apparently including rostrum, 
and prothorax very finely beaded (or punctured), the former more finely 
than the latter, both very uniformly and not very sharply. Head and ros- 
trum slightly longer than the thorax, the latter much stouter than the fore 
femora; prothorax higher than long, gently arched above, scarcely broader 
at base than at apex, truncate at each extremity. Elytra rather elongate, 
the lateral margin very gently sinuate at the base, with rows of rather 
sharp, rather deeply punctured strize (showing on reverses as sharp beaded 
ridges), the punctures slightly longitudinal and in each row removed from
