CURCULIONID®—CURCULIONIN.E—ERIRHININI, 99 
DORYTOMUS Germar. 
Nearly fifty species of this genus are known, most of which belong to 
the Old World, though North America possesses fourteen, found mostly in 
rather high latitudes. Two fossil species are known, both from Florissant.

DoryTroMUS WILLIAMSI. 
Blow; Pigs 2: 
The specimens referred here seem pretty plainly to fall in Dorytomus, 
and in the vicinity, though not very close, of D. brevicollis LeConte. The 
head is very delicately scabrous, the eye pretty large, reniform, transverse; 
the beak is twice as long as the prothorax, much longer than head and 
prothorax together, very gently and regularly arcuate, and distinctly and 
rather heavily striate; the funicle and club together are nearly as long as 
the beak, the second joint of funicle longer than the third. The prothorax 
is decidedly transverse, being twice as high as long, tapers very rapidly 
and regularly with no anterior constriction, the surface densely and rather 
coarsely punctured with more or less transverse punctures. Klytra with 
deeply impressed and punctate striae, the punctures small; interspaces 
feebly punctate and clothed with short hairs. Femora strongly clavate, 
armed beneath with an acute tooth; tibia: very slender. 
Length, excluding rostrum, 41™™; rostrum, 1°85™; elytra, 20";

DoryYTOMUS COERCITUS. 
Pl. vi, Fig. 4. 
I place this species in Dorytomus, to which it is certainly closely 
allied, although the legs are shorter and the thighs appear to be stouter than
