Brachystylus is erroneously placed by Lacordaire among the Otiorrhyn- 
chides ; its entire structure is that of the CypTiides, notwithstanding the 
slight irregularity in the form of the scrobes. G. H. Horn, P. Am.

New genera and sjpecies : — 
Minyomerus, G. H. Horn, 1. c. p. 17. Type of a proposed new group 
of Otiorrhynchidce, but to be placed in the true Brachy derides in Lacor- 
daire’s arrangement. Head feebly transversely impressed behind the 
eyes. M. innocuus^ Colorado, languidus, Arizona and California, p. 18. 
Anomadus^ id. 1. c. p. 21. Allied to Epicoerus : articular face of hind 
tibiae scaly, support of deciduous piece of rostrum very prominent, 
antennae rather slender, club distinct. Artipus^ according to Lacordaire ’s 
arrangement. An. obliquus, ibid.. Lower California. 
JlormoruSf id. 1. c. p. 23. Typo of a group of Otiorrhynchuke, but not 
satisfactorily located, and stated to be apparently placed (with the next 
genus) in Lacordaire’s Blosyrides, having open posterior corbels, and a 
straight first abdominal suture. Closely resembling Otiorrhynchus in 
facies. Type, Chlorophanus undulatus, Uhler. 
Agasphcerops, id. 1. c. p. 24. Differs from Hormorus in having spherical 
prominent eyes, with posterior orbit, and the scape of the antennas barely 
reaching the anterior margin of the eye. Type, A. nigra, p. 25, Cali- 
fornia. 
Diamimus, id. 1. c.p. 46. Apparently allied to Mimetes, differing in 
the prominent support of the deciduous piece of its rostrum. Placed by 
the author in his group Ophryastini of the Otiorrhynchidce. D. subsericeus, 
ibid.. New Mexico, Colorado. 
Peritaxia, id. ibid. Differs from the preceding in its open hind corbels 
and rectangular shoulders. Apparently allied to Amompbus. P. rugi- 
collis and hispida, p. 47, Colorado. 
Aramigus, id. 1. c. p. 93. “ Would probably belong to Lacordaire’s 
Brachy derides, and its position near EurymetopusJ' Resembles an elon- 
gate Strophosomus. For Liparus tessellatus, Say, of which var. n. pallidus, 
from Kansas to Texas, is described, p. 94 (P = Sitona durius, Germ., 
teste Pascoe, ibid.), and A.fulleri, p. 94, New Jersey to Montana. lu a 
note, 1. c. p. 94, Liparus tessellatus, Say, is stated on Jekel’s authority to 
be a Naupactes, of a group for which the latter author has created the 
genus Aomopactus. 
Phacepholis, id. 1. c. Differs from Aramigus in the articular surfaces 
of the hind tibia9 being strongly cavernous, the tips having an oval scaly 
space, and in its more distinct scutellum (apparently = Pantopuctiis,
