COLEOPTERA. 
. Cactophagus^ g. n., id. 1. c. p. 331. Sphenophorini : differs from Spheno- 
phorus in the absence of inequalities or coarse sculpture, and in the third 
joint of the tarsi being somewhat transverse, patellate, and uniformly 
densely spongy beneath, not divided. For S. procerus, Lee., = validus, 
Lee. 
Rhodoheenus, g. n., id. 1. c. p. 332. Differs from the preceding in its 
tibiae being subtrunoate at the tip, and the third joint of the tarsi being 
narrowly divided, &c. For Bphenopliorus 1^-punctatus, 111., and S. pustu- 
losus, Gyll. 
TricMschius, g. n., id. 1. c. p. 426. Allied to Sphenophorus, but clothed 
with long hair in many parts, and with the third joint of all the tarsi 
slender, not at all dilated or emarginate, glabrous beneath, fringed at the 
sides, quite as long as the second joint, which is as long as the first. For 
T. crenatus, sp. n., id. ibid., Colorado. 
RHnocles, g. n., 0. A. Dohrn, S. E. Z. xxxvii. pp. 86-88. Rostrum 
exceedingly long ; scape of antennae much longer than the head, and 
inserted at the very base of the rostrum, the apical joint of club being as 
long as the two preceding, conic, and compressed ; scutellum subtri- 
apgular, with the sides not bent inwards ; pygidium with a spathiform 
impression. For R. nasica, sp. n., id. 1. c. pp. 88-90, Monrovia. 
Rhynchophorus ceylanensis, sp. n., W. Roelofs, CR. Ent. Belg. xix. 
p. V., Ceylon. 
Sphenophorus velutinus, Florida, and variolosus, Colorado, p. 424, ohlitus, 
p. 425, Texas, Leconte, 1. c. ; S. siculus, G. Stierlin, MT. schw. ent. Ges. 
iv. p. 476, Sicily : spp. nn. 
Sipalides. 
J. L. Leconte, P. Am. Phil. Soc. xv. p. 333, distinguishes this group 
(as subf. Rhinidce) from the Calandrides chiefly by the buccal opening 
being entirely at the end of the rostrum. 
Yuccahorus, g. n., id. 1. c. p. 333. Allied to Rhina and Ilarpacterus, 
differing in the form of the antennal club, the eyes being widely distant 
above, and the third tarsal joint much smaller and not spongy beneath. 
For Rhina frontalis, Lee. 
Hormopides. 
J. L. Leconte, 1. c. p. 320, closes his subfamily of genuine Curcu- 
lionidee (anteii, p. 76) with a new tribe, Hormopini, differing from all 
the others in having eyes nearly contiguous beneath. It is founded on 
Hormops, g. n., id. 1. c. p. 321. Eyes very large, transverse, and 
coarsely granulated ; antennae received in front of eyes in deep oblique 
grooves, suddenly and acutely deflexed. Suggestive of Procas in facies, 
but with possible relations to certain of Wollaston’s anomalous Cos- 
sonidee. For II. abducens, sp. n., ibid., Florida, “ one specimen.’* 
Oossonides. 
J. L. Leconte, 1. c. p. 334 et seq., neglects the number of joints in 
the funicle of the antennae as being rather of generic than of tribal 
value, and adopts as tribes for the N. American species the three follow- 
ing : Dryophthorini, Cossonini, and Rhyncolini. The last is distinguished
