The comparatively elongate metasternum places this genua 

 with the Fhyllobius genera of the Otiorhynchinae ; the peculiar 

 form of the head and rostrum, however, together with the ap- 

 proximation of the scrobes and of the eyes above, seem to point 

 it out as the type of a peculiar group, of which the next genus 

 would also be a member.

The excessive shortness of the metasternum at once separates 

 this genus fron the preceding, with which the characters drawn 

 from the head and rostrum seem to ally it ; the scrobes, however, 

 are more terminal, and the eye is nearly round *.
