Club of the antennae not thicker than the funicle. 



Bryochceta, n. g. 



Club of the antennae much thicker than the funicle, 



Eupiona, n. g. 



Tiphattea. 

 (Molytinae.) 



Hostrum elongatum, cylindricum, teuuatum, apice paulo latiore ; 

 scrobes subbasales, partem superiorem oculi attingentes. Scapus 

 brevissimus ; funiculus 7 -articulatus, articulis duobus basalibus 

 breviusculis, caeteris brevioribus, gradatim crassioribus, clava 

 parva brevissima, articulo ultimo funiculi arete applicata. Oculi 

 transversi, infra contigui, grosse granulati. Prothorax trans- 

 versa, antice perparum tubulatus, utrinque subcostato-inargi- 

 natus, parallelus. Scutellum inconspicuum. Elytra late ovata, 

 prothorace latiora, basi incurvata. Pedes breves ; femora in- 

 crassata, mutica ; tibia validae, fere rectae, unco horizontali ar- 

 matae, posticae corbellis cavernosis ; tarsi angusti, articulis 

 tribus basalibus infra apice ciliatis, quarto elongato ; unguiculi 

 divergentes ; coxae anticae contiguae. Metasternum breve. Ab- 

 domen sutura prima obsoleta, segmentis 3° 4° angustissimis. 



It is with some hesitation that I place this genus with Moly-

 tarsi are found in Anisorhynchits ; the partially ridged margin of 

 the side of the prothorax occurs also in some Anchoni. 



Tiphaura funerea. (PI. VI. fig. 10.). T. late ovata, nigra, nuda; 

 rostro prothoracis longitudini aequali, sequilato ( <S^)> tenuiter oblongo-

 tiliter crebre papillato-punctato, in medio linea impunctata notato ; 

 elytris striatis, iuterstitiis latis, subplanatis, obsolete punctatis ; cor- 

 pore infra sordide fusco ; pedibus setulis silaceis dispersis ; tarsis arti- 

 culo ultimo subtestaceo. Long. 4 lin.

Bostrum breve, validum ; scrobes obliquae, vel subtransversae, infra
