Amtdala. 



(Cryptorhynchinse .) 



Rostrum validum, breviusculum, rectum, basi latiore ; scrohes me- 

 dianaj laterales ; scapus brevis, gradatim crasaior, ante medium 

 rostri insertus ; funiculus 7-arfciculatus, articulis duobus basa- 

 libus longioribus, c.-oteris tranaversia ; clava elongata, cylindrica. 

 Oculi Bubgrossc granulati, antice remoti. Prothorax conicus, 

 antice productus, basi truucatus, lobis ocularibus nuUis. Scu- 

 tellum invisum. Elytra elongato-obconica, valde convexa, pro- 

 thorace basi vix latiora. Pedes mediocrea ; femora ampla, com- 

 pressa, infra canaliculata ; tihiee rectse, teretes ; tarsi normales. 

 Pima pectoralis' profunda, post coxaa anticaa terminata, apice 

 fornicata. Abdomen segmento primo lamina transveraa in- 

 structo. 



The first abdominal segment of the speciea described below is 

 furnished with a broad, flat, somewhat cordiform plate, edged with 

 a narrow, glossy, black, elevated line, trenching considerably on 

 the second segment. Something of the same kind, but of a much 

 slighter character, is seen in Ampagia, a near ally of this genua. 

 Both genera, as well as Bepharus, belong to that section of Cryp- 

 torhynchinse of which Sympiezoscelus is the type. This genus is 

 at once diff'erentiated by the form of the club ; the species de- 

 scribed below is remai'kably like Perissops mucidus (ante, p. 194).
