SMICRORHYNCHUS MACGEEI. 
Pl. v1, Fig. 6. 
Head nearly smooth in front, but posteriorly, profusely, and rather 
coarsely punctate, like the prothorax, though not quite so heavily; eye very 
large, ovate, transverse ; rostrum as long as head and prothorax together, 
tapering gently at the base, but again enlarging on the apical half, very 
gently arcuate, longitudinally finely striate in the apical half. Prothorax 
half as broad or high again as long, quadratiform, with well rounded sides. 
Base of elytra considerably broader than the thorax; striae finely impressed 
and punctate, the puncta circular, slight, small, and attingent; interspaces 
flat, feebly but profusely punctulate.

ERIRHINUS Schonherr. 
This is an Old World type, the species from North America former]

placed here being now regarded as distinct. It has been recognized as fossil 
by Oustalet in a single species at Aix, and one has been indicated from amber 
by Motschulsky, under the name Erirhinoides.

The species here included in this genus is so placed only as typical of 
i s ] : vir 
the Erirhinini. Its much briefer rostrum, as well as the exceptional size of

no genus to which it appears nearly allied among our Erirhinini (to which 
from its general characters it appears to belong, although the abdominal 
segments are equal in length), it is provisionally placed here.
