BDBGENC9 CAMPTORHINUS, Sch. 



8. C. tubulatus, Thorax tubular before ; interstitial lines with a series of hairy 

 punctures. 



Inhab. Indiana. 



Bodij black, punctured ; rostrum rather slender, arquated ; between the 

 eyes indented : thorax densely punctured, anteriorly abruptly contracted so as 

 to be almost tubular ; elytra with deeply impressed, punctured striae ; inter- 

 stitial lines flattened & with a series of punctures, each furnishing a recurved, 

 whitish hair. 



Length under one fifth of an inch. 



I place this small species in the present subgenus, from the character of tha 

 eyes which are very large,remote above & closely approaching beneath.

The common whitish line at base of the elytra is ratlier less obvious than 

 that ofC. pericarpius, F. 



2. C. cretura, Ilerbst, (Curculio) Naturyst. 7, p. 70, pi. 100. fig. 5, C. 



I mentioned this species under the name of 4- spinosus in the Journ. Acad. 

 Nat. Sc. 3,p. 310. 



3. C. triangularis. Thorax with two obtuse tubercles ; elytra with a comrooa 

 Bubtriangular, whitish spot at base. 



Inhab. Indiana. 



Body robust, short : densely punctured: antennae bright rufous, club blackiEb; 

 rostrum with somewhat elevated lines ; thorax with dense, rather large punc- 

 tures; a longitudinal indented line in which are white hairs; an obtuse tubercle 

 each side a little behind the middle : elytra with deeply impressed striae, & 

 rather large punctures ; interstitial lines transversely rugous ; at base is a 

 common elongated whitish triangular spot ; lateral edge, behind the hunaer- 

 us, white : beneath with scale like, white hairs: iAi^/is unarmed. 



Length about three twentieths of an inch. 



This is longer than pericarpius, F. which it much resembles, but the common 

 spot is much more dilated behind & triangular. 



4. C. incequalis. Thorax 4-tuberculate, & bidentate before. 

 Inhab. Indiana. 



Bot/y brown, short & robust : thorax: with an indented line, which so in- 

 dents the anterior edge as to exhibit two denticulations in that part; each 

 side of the middle is an obtuse rather large tubercle, & still more lateral & a lit- 

 tle posterior is a less obtuse tubercle ; elytra with the alternate interstitial 

 Jines more elevated. 



Length over one tenth of an inch. 



I obtained many specimens resting upon a newly constructed fence in the 

 spring.
