140 TERTIARY RHYNCHOPHOROUS COLEOPTERA. 
CATOBARIS (xa@7@, Baris, nom. gen.) gen. nov. 
Among the Barini from Florissant is a single species which from its 
form it is impossible to place in any of the known genera and for which, 
consequently, the above name is proposed. It is of a pretty large size for 
the group, with parallel sides, the head and prothorax together forming a 
bullate mass, which is broadest and subangulate just behind the front margin 
of the prothorax, where it is fully as broad as the elytra, though at base it 
is much narrower. There are no postocular lobes. The beak is unfortu- 
nately broken in the only specimen known, but it is rather slender, and the 
antenne, part only of which are preserved, are evidently short, have rather 
a stout ovate club, and the terminal joint of the funicle is cuneiform. The 
femora are nearly as long as the breadth of the body aud very much ex- 
panded, while the tibia, or some of them at any rate, are arcuate. 
SATOBARIS CGENOSA. 
Pl xm, Bie: 4 
Head very broad and short, well rounded in front, feebly punctate ; 
eyes rather small, round-oval, transverse ; beak rather slender, regularly and 
gently arcuate, broken in the single specimen known, but at least half as 
long as the prothorax, somewhat striate. Prothorax half as broad again as 
long, with strongly arcuate subangulate sides, the angulation in the middle 
of the anterior half, hardly four-fifths the width of the elytra at base, the 
front margin gently arcuate, opening forward, the surface densely, rather 
coarsely, and uniformly punctate. Elytra about two and a half times as 
long as broad, equal, rounded subacuminate at tip, apically parted to show 
the pygidium, the humeri well rounded, the surface striate with faint signs 
of punctuation in the striz, the interspaces Hat and unmarked. Femora 
feebly and finely punctate. 
Length, excluding rostrum, 3°3""; breadth, 1°8™".
