J. L. Leconte, P. Am. Phil. Soc. xv. p. 115 et seq., separates Alophus^ 
Lepidophorus, and some allied new genera from the llyperides^ elevating 
them to the rank of a sub-family, Alophidcn, of a family Carculionidm 
(anteii, p. 76). The characters relied upon are in the mandibles, which 
are nearly flat externally and punctured, pincer-shaped, with a sharp 
edge at the apex, which is more or less emarginate, and without apical 
scar or deciduous piece. The antennae are geniculate, the gular margin 
prominent, and peduncle and mentum retracted. Besides Lepidophorus, 
Kby. {L. lineaticollis, Kby., ? = Phytonomus trivittatus, Say, p. 120). the 
following new genera are here associated and described : — 
Triglyphus,pA\^. Somewhat of the facies of Molytes: elytra oval, 
perpendicular towards the tip, nearly smooth, with faint striao. Bostrum 
deeply channelled. T. ater, sp. n., p. 117, California. 
Plinthodes, p. 117. Differs from the preceding in its oblong oval 
elytra, with distinct shoulders, scabrous-punctate, with distinct striae. 
For Bylobius ? tceniatus, Lee, 
Acmeegenius, p. 118. Differs from the two preceding genera in its 
rostrum being more finely channelled, and its tarsi setose instead of 
brush-like beneath. For A. hylohi [i]nws, sp. n., ibid., Oregon. 
Trichalophus, ibid. Differs from Acmeegenius in the obsolete striae of 
its elytra, and in the pubescence not being mixed with scales. Alophus 
with obliterated striae. For A. didymus, Lee., A. alternatus, Mann, (nec 
Say), = constrictus, Lee., A. seriatus, Mann., Hypsonotus alternatus, Say, 
and T. simplex, p. 119, Manitoba and Hudson’s Bay Territory, and T. 
planirostris, p. 413, Colorado, spp. nn. 
Lophalophus, p. 120. Differs from the above in its finely carinate 
rostrum and punctate-striate elytra, which are squamose, with small 
intermixed bristles. For Liophltjeus inquinatus, Mann. 
The same author, 1. c. p. 123 et seq., associates under the name Phyto- 
nomini, as a tribe of another sub-family “ Curculionidae genuini ” of his 
above-mentioned family Curculionidee, two groups, Phytonomi {Phytono- 
mus and Lepyrus) and Listroderi {Listronotus and Macrops). These will 
be here noticed in their usual positions. Phytonomus elongatus, Gy 11., 
and P. nigrirostris, GylL, are recorded from Greenland and Canada 
respectively. The structure of the scales in the North American species 
is discussed ; id. 1. c. p. 414.
