COLEOPTEEA. 
Otiorrhynchides. 
The family Otiorrhynchidce, as employed by G. Horn in Leconte’s 
“ Rhynchophora of America, North of Mexico,” P. Am, Phil. Soc. xv. 
p. 13 et seq., has little to do with Lacordaire’s tribe of the same name, 
including not only the greater portion of the Adelognathes, but also 
several tribes of the Phanerognathes of the French author. The pre- 
sence of a mandibular scar is considered the primary essential character 
[Zool. Rec. vi. p. 272]. In this extension, the author follows Leconte, 
whose classification is set forth in Zool. Rec. xi. p. 306. The following 
is the scheme now proposed ; Division I — Tribes, Brachyderini, Ophry- 
astini, Otiorrhynchini, and Dirotognathini. The tribe Brachyderini con- 
sists of groups Minyomeri (new, p. 17), Epiccuriy Hormori (new, p. 23), 
Trigonoscutoiy and Calyptilli (new, p. 26) ; the Ophryastini of OphryasteSy 
RhigopseSy Strangaliodes (not precisely the same as the Strang aliodides of 
Lacordaire, including several of his Eremnides)y and Phyxeles; the 
Otiorrhynchini of Agraphiy Otiorrhynchiy Periteliy and Trachyphloei ; and 
the Dirotognathini of a single new genus (p. 79). Division II. — Tribes, 
Tanymeciniy Cyphiniy Evotini (wrongly printed Exophthalnpini ; see 
p. 100), Phyllohiiniy and Promecopini. Of these, the Tanymecini are 
not subdivided, being, in fact, too heterogeneous ; the Cyphini consist of 
groups Cyphiy Artipiy and Aphrasti ; the Evotini of Exophthalmiy Omilei 
(new, p. 101), and Evoti. The Phylobiini and Promecopini are not sub- 
divided. As the classification of Lacordaire is in general use, the new 
genera and species described will be referred in the present Record to 
that author’s divisions, wherever practicable. In Otiorrhynchus proper, 
there are two short fixed spurs at the apex of the hind tibiffi (pp. 59 & 
60). The 5 American species are also British.
