Kingsolver — Fossil Cleoninae 
49 
The illustration of Cleonus pr i/nor is indicates that the specimen is 
badly distorted and that it probably will yield few clues to its correct 
placement in the Curculionidae. The type was stated by Scudder to 
be in the Princeton University collections, but Dr. A. G. Fischer 
assures me that the type is not presently in that collection and that 
its whereabouts is unknown. 
On the basis of my examination of the types, I suggest that the 
three fossil species, Cleonus exterraneus, Cleonus degeneratus and 
Eocleonus subjectus be relegated to incertae sedis status in the Curcu- 
lionidae until such time as their true position can be determined, if 
that is possible. Likewise, Cleonus foersteri and Cleonus primoris 
should be placed in incertae sedis in the Curculionidae until the types 
can be located and examined.
