showing at the same time. The head is short and basally broad; the 
rostrum very slender, reaching forward so as to show nearly as long as the 
pronotum. Pronotum subrugulose, the granulations faint, and obscure next 
the middle; on the sides moderately large and distant, between the two 
smaller, more numerous, and showing a tendency to a transverse arrange- 
ment. Elytra with numerous equidistant striz, apparently about twenty 
in number,

Tribe CALANDRINI. 
A species of Calandra, according to Pictet, was recognized by Serres 
at Aix, and alone represents this tribe in the European Tertiaries. In 
America two species found in the Gosiute fauna, and consisting of elytra 
only, are referred to Calandrites. 
CALANDRITES (Calandra, nom. gen.) gen. nov. 
Under this head I place a couple of species represented only by elytra 
which seem from their elongate form and the character of their markings to 
be not far removed from the much smaller species of the old genus Calan- 
dra, though it is certainly possible that they may belong in a very different 
group. They both belong to rather large species, and agree in having ten 
punctured striae. 
Both come from the Roan mountains, Colorado, and Green River, 
Wyoming.
