Zeopus. 

 (Haplonychinge.) 



Ilaploni/cho ct Aolli affinia ; ab illo facile distinguitur funiculo 6- 

 articulato, ct tavsis 3-articulatia ; ab hoc roatro elongato, ar- 

 cuato ; scrobibus poatmcdiaiiis ; funiculo articulia ultiiiiis ob- 

 conicis, diatincte articulatis. 



In Haplonyx and Aolles the roatrum is robust, straight or 

 feebly curved, and the last tliree or four joints of tlie funicle are 

 tranaverse and not very distinct from one another and from the 

 club ; ivom Aolles, to which this genus is more closely allied, from 

 the absence of the claw-joint, the long curved rostram with its 

 postmedian scrobcs will readily diiferentiate it. The species 

 here described bears some resemblance to a Storeus.

Lacordaire was the iirat to characterize Acicnemis, in his 

 * Genera/ although its only representative up to that time had 

 been previously described specifically by M. Fairmaire. This 

 species {A. variegata, from Tahiti) is, according to M. Lacor-
