Inozetes. 



(Cryptorhynchinae.) 



Rostrum breve, rectum, validum; scrobes praemedianae, obliquae, 

 infra rostrum currentes, oculos haud attingentes. Antenna 

 breves ; funiculus 6-articulatus, articulo primo elongato, se- 

 cundo obconico, caeteris trausversis, gradatim latioribus, in 

 clavam continuatis. Oculi ovati, liberi. Prothorax transversus, 

 utrinque rotundatus, apice vix productus, lobis ocularibus fere 

 obsoletis. Elytra oblongo-cordata, protborace paulo latiora. 

 Pedes validi ; femora incrassata, subtus dentata ; tibia breves, 

 subrectse, intus bisinuata3 ; tarsi articulis tribus basalibus con- 

 junctiin triangularibus, quarto mediocri. Propectus brevissi- 

 mum, inter coxas anticas excavatum ; mesosternum antice ver- 

 ticale. 



Allied to Psepholax and Strongylopterus, but differing from both 

 in the six-jointed funicle and very short propectus ; this is due to 

 its deep emargination, which only leaves a narrow portion in front 

 of the anterior coxae. 



Inozetes petechialis. (PL X. fig. 11.) J. ovalis, convexus, 

 fulvo-testaceus, supra variegatim griseo ochraceoque squamosus ; 

 capite antice convexo ; rostro latitudine plus duplo longiore, versus 

 apicem squamis sensim minoribus ; antennis testaceis, clava infuscata ; 

 prothorace subtransverso, basi baud angustiore, sat dense squamoso ; 

 scutello rotundato ; elytris striato-punctatis, interstitiis transversim 

 granulatis, squamis paulo adspersis, maculis ochraceo-testaceis, e 

 squamis minus condensatis, irregulariter irroratis ; corpore infra sat 

 sparse, pedibus magis dense squamosis ; femoribus posticis validiori- 

 bus, dente majore instructis. Long. 4 lin.

OSSETERIS. 



(CryptorhynchinaD.) 



Rostrum breve, validum, rectum, paulo depressum ; scrobes me- 

 dianae, rectae, dimidium inferius oculorum attingentes. Antenna 

 breves ; funiculus 7-articulatus, articulis 1. 2. breviter obconicis, 

 caeteris valde transversis, in clavam continuatis. Oculi subro- 

 tundati, infra paulo acuminati, grosse granulati. Prothorax 

 vix transversus, utrinque rotundatus, antice tubulatus, apice 

 productus, lobis ocularibus latis. Elytra oblonga, subcordata,
