106 . TERTIARY RHYNCHOPHOROUS COLEOPTERA. 
broad at base, well rounded, feebly and rather coarsely punctate; eye rather 
large, transversely ovate; rostrum as long as the head, moderately stout, 
scarcely arcuate, subacuminate at tip. Prothorax nearly twice as high as 
long, well arched, feebly punctate, and obliquely striate. Elytra obscure, 
but plainly striate, rather finely and apparently delicately punctato-striate. 
Femora rather stout; tibiz straight, and, especially the fore tibiz, rather 
long. 
Length of body, excluding rostrum, 4°25™"; rostrum, 0°9""; height of 
body, 2°75". 
Florissant, Colorado. One specimen, No. 8845. 
Tribe MAGDALINI. 
This tribe, composed in America of the single genus Magdalis, is repre- 
sented by this genus alone in the Tertiary deposits, whether of Europe or 
America. In Europe two species have been described from Rott; in America 
one only is found at Florissant. 
MAGDALIS Germar. 
A genus rather richer in forms in Europe than in North America, where 
we recognize seventeen widely-distributed species, while a couple of species 
are found in South America and one in Australia. Heyden describes a couple 
of species (Magdalinus) from the Tertiaries of Rott. I place here a single 
fossil species from Florissant, which, from the general character of the 
antenn (though the jointing of the funicle is not clear), and the prominent 
hind angles of the prothorax, as well as by its general aspect, seems to 
belong certainly in its neighborhood, but which, after all, differs considera- 
bly from it in the structure of the elytra and the early insertion of the 
antennee, by which the scape is made to reach the very middle of the eye. 
Both the species described from Rott, and especially M. deucalionis, are 
much larger than ours, which resembles M. deucalionis rather than the other, 
but is still well removed from it.
