and rather finely punctate. Elytra with delicately impressed slender striae, 
distinctly and deeply punctate, with circular or slightly longitudinal fine 
puncta, removed from each other by about twice their length. Legs of 
moderate length, the femora moderately stout and clavate, the tibize coarse 
but elongated, the apex enlarged and hooked. 
Length, excluding rostrum, 7-25"; rostrum, 2"; elytra, 45™"; height

This beetle has all the aspect of an Hylobius, and agrees with it in 
most points of structure, but there appear to be no postocular lobes, and the 
tarsal joints of the fore legs are not at all expanded. It would, therefore, 
appear probable that it can not strictly belong here. 
Florissant, Colorado. One specimen, No. 3013, Mr. R. D. Lacoe. 
The species is named for Mr. R. D. Lacoe, of Pittston, Pennsylvania, 
who has laid the paleontologists of this country under heavy obligations 
by his substantial and generous aid. 
LACCOPYGUS (Aaxxodzvyos), gen. nov. 
We have here a very striking genus of Hylobiini, remarkable particu 
larly for the structure of the funicle of the antenne, by which it seems 
nearest allied to, though still somewhat distant from, the Mexican Laccoproc- 
tus. The head rapidly narrows in front, and the rostrum, large at base, also 
narrows a little, but is still rather stout and considerably shorter than the 
thorax. The antennal scrobes extend almost to the tip, and the slender, 
apically clavate scape reaches the posterior border of the eye; the funicle 
is composed of seven similar elongate joints, subequal, excepting the second, 
which is twice or more than twice as long as any of the others, and, with 
those on either side of it, fully equals the scape in length; the club is stout 
oval, and the seventh joint of the funicle in no way involved in it. Kyes 
rather small and round. Thorax exceptionally short, being fully half as 
broad again as long 
2, with gently convex sides and truncate extremities. 
Elytra moderately elongated, considerably broader at base than the pro- 
thorax, not abruptly declivent behind. Fore femora exceedingly stout; all 
the tibiz slender; first joint of tarsi elongated, more than twice as long hs 
broad, slender at base; second a little more than half as long, oval; third
