156 TERTIARY RHYNCHOPHOROUS COLEOPTERA. 
AULOBARIS LeConte. 
The three or four species of this genus known belong to North 
America, and are southern in distribution. It is interesting to find as many 
species fossil, one at Florissant, the others at the Roan mountains and on 
the White river, Colorado.

AULOBARIS DAMNATA. 
Pl vir, Big 7 
Body very regularly ovate, slightly more than twice as long as broad, 
the dorsal curve very regular and considerable. Head scarcely less densely 
and less coarsely punctate than the thorax, the eye moderately large, broadly 
transversely oval, its longer axis about equal to the diameter of the beak; 
funicle and club of antennze together very much shorter than the rostrum; 
this straight at base, bent or incurved in middle, equal, moderately slender, 
and as long as the prothorax, feebly punctate. Prothorax nearly twice as 
high as long, rapidly tapering, tolerably full, with no postocular lobes, 
densely and rather finely punctate. Elytra broad, well rounded apically, 
punctato-striate, the punctures not.very distinct. 
I have placed this species in this modern genus because the antennze 
seem to agree best with it; the funicle shows the first and second joints of 
equal length, the succeeding vague, the last three of equal length but 
slightly increasing width and very short, the club elongate oval and hardly 
half as wide again as the apical joints of the funicle.
