152 TERTIARY RHYNCHOPHOROUS COLEOPTERA. 
Tribe DRYOPHTHORINI. 
This tribe has been recognized in a fossil state only in America, where 
in our western Tertiaries at Florissant two species occur, each referred to a 
distinct and extinct genus.

SPODOTRIBUS (ez000s, rp/f@), gen. nov. 
This insect, which seems to belong in the Dryophthorini, differs from 
either of the groups included therein by Le Conte and Horn. The meta- 
sternum is apparently long and the funicle of the antenne is composed of 
numerous, probably seven, joints; the eyes, too, are situated almost upon 
the beak, and are composed of relatively few lenses, but are not prominent, 
and the head has the slightest possible constriction behind the eyes, a little 
in advance of the middle. The body is elongate. The head is of excep- 
tionally great length, though only half as long as high, subconical, with 
rounded contours; the beak is as long as the prothorax, moderately stout, 
equal, and very gently curved; the antenne are inserted at three-fifths the 
distance from the base, have a slender scape reaching nearly to the eyes, a 
funicle of apparently seven, so far as can be seen equal and quadrate, joints, 
together as long as the scape, and an elongate oval club, several times 
longer than broad and fully twice as broad as the funicle; the eyes are rather 
small, short oval, obliquely transverse, the front margin overlapping the base 
ofthe beak. The prothorax is cylindrical, even, higher than long; the lees 
rather slender and not long, and the elytra ridged; the pygidium is appar- 
ently covered. 
A single species, from Florissant, has come to light. 
SPODOTRIBUS TERRULENTUS.

former showing a tendency to a transverse arrangement, and on the sides
