CURCULIONID 4&—CURCULIONIN &®—CEUTHORHYNCHINI. 129 
Europe one species of Cceliodes is recorded from Aix, and 4 of Ceutho- 
rhynchus from Brunstatt and Rott; but besides these a recent species of 
Mononychus has been found in the peat of Jarville, France. 
CAELIODES Schonnherr. 
The species of this genus, 40 or 50 in number, living on trees and 
shrubs, are widely distributed, mainly in the Old World, but a dozen are 
found in the New World, and principally in North America. One species 
has been found fossil at Aix, in Provence, and I place here a single species 
from Florissant from its general resemblance to C. acephalus Germ., although 
the eye does not appear to be at all covered by postocular lobes, and the 
antenne are longer and the funicle apically slenderer than in Ceeliodes. 
It certainly appears to be very nearly allied to it, but has a much longer 
prothorax.

lowly and rather finely punctured; eyes rather large, circular, and

little arcuate next the base, but beyond straight, nearly as long as head 
and prothorax together; antennz with the scape hardly attaining the 
eyes, the funicle and club together almost equaling the length of the beak, 
the funicle equally slender throughout excepting for the last joint, which 
with the club forms a broad oval mass. Thorax rapidly tapering, nearly 
twice as high as long, coarsely and rather closely punctate. Under surface 
of body with similar but closer puncta. Elytra striate, with feeblest possi- 
ble signs of punctuation. Legs short.
