CURCULIONID4—CU RCULIONIN &—ANTHONOMINI 147 
ANTHONOMUS REVICTUS. 
PL x1, Fig. 6. 
Body relatively slender and elongate, the dorsal surface not very 
strongly arched. Head moderately large, appressed, the rostrum springing 
from it abruptly, more than twice as high as long; eyes obscure, apparently 
broad oval, transverse, and of moderate size; rostrum straight, equal, mod- 
erately stout, scarcely longer than the prothorax. Prothorax fully half as 
high again as long, tapering a little with a slight fullness, the surface ob- 
scure but apparently finely punctate. Elytra not greatly broader at base 
than the prothorax and very obscure, but apparently striato-punctate. 
Length, excluding rostrum, 27"; rostrum, 05"; elytra, 19"; 
height of body, 1:7”". 
Green River, Wyoming, from the bluffs behind the town. Two 
specimens, Nos. 721 and 730, 723, U. 5. Geological Survey. 
ORCHESTES Illiger. 
This genus is tolerably well stocked with species, especially in the 
Old World. In the New World a couple of species are found in South 
America and nine species in North America. A single species has been 
found fossil at Florissant. 
ORCHESTES LANGUIDULUS. 
Pl. v1, Fig. 8. 
I refer this Anthonomid to Orchestes mainly from its general appear- 
ance, and because its large eyes are so close above as almost to touch. The 
head, however, and beak are very obscure, but appear to be bent over so 
as to receive the beak upon or nearly upon the breast; the beak appears 
to be hardly longer than the head, scarcely arcuate and stout; the surface 
of the head appears to be feebly punctate. Thorax coarsely, equally and 
rather closely punctate, half as high again as long, tapering only a little. 
Elytra more than twice as long as broad, not greatly broader in the middle 
than at base, punctato-striate, the puncta of the same size as on the thorax,
