Rostrum tenuatum, arcuatum, basi hand incrassatum, apice dila- 

 tatum ; scrohes submediause, infra oculos currentes. Oculi 

 prominuli, rotundati, fortiter granulati. Scopus gracilis, ocu- 

 lum attingens ; funiculus 6-articulatus, articulo prime ampliato, 

 tribus sequentibns gradatim brevioribus, duobus ultimis rotun- 

 datis ; clava distincta, ovata. Frothorax transversus, basi an- 

 gustatus, truncatus. Elytra prothorace manifeste latiora, sub- 

 ovata, humeris callosa. Tibice apice muticse. Gcetera ut in 

 Ochyromera. 



Notwithstanding the six-jointed antennae, this genus is more

SvNNADA CURBUCULA. S. fulvo-testacea, squamulis minutis subar- 

 genteis sejunctim vestita ; rostro prothorace fere triplo longiore, apice 

 paulo dilatato, basi lineatim striato ; antennis pallide fulvis, clava infus- 

 cataj prothorace valde transverso, utrinque rotundato, punctis sparsis 

 squamulis piliformibus obtecto ; elytris breviter subovatis, apice ro- 

 tundatis, sulcato-punctatis, punctis approximatis, interstitiis convexis, 

 sparse setulosis; tibiis anticis intus setis sex nigris fimbriatis. Long.

The Table below comprises all the genera of the Prionomerinae 

 at present known having the anterior femora furnished with a 

 large triangular tooth. Piazorhinus, the only genus which offers 

 an exception to this character, was merely compared, and only as
