( Cryptorhy nchinae. ) 



Rostrum mediocre, paulo arcuatum, squamosum, basi utrinque 

 ante oculos transverse sulcatum ; scrobes praemedianae, obliquae ; 

 scapus oculum baud attingens ; funiculus 7-articulatus, arti- 

 culis duobus basalibus parum longiusculis, caeteris gradatim 

 brevioribus et latioribus, ultimis trausversis ; clava parva, ovata, 

 distincta. Oculi laterales, grosse granulati. Prothorax trans- 

 versus, antice subito constrictus, apice productus. Scutellum 

 elevatum. Elytra convexa, prothorace multo latiora, postice 

 declivia. Pedes breviusculi ; femora sublinearia, valida, infra 

 dentata ; tibice extus incurvatae, intus bisinuatae ; tarsi breves,

The groove immediately before the eye, the peculiar character 

 of this genus, terminates in the scrobe, both running out be- 

 neath. The two species here described differ somewhat in appear- 

 rance, owing to the outline, but they conform to the above for- 

 mula. The genus is allied to CJuztectetorus, Schon.
