&'cuteltum breviter subtriangulare, apice obtusum, parum ele~ 
vatum. Elytra parum elongata, postice lion callosa, rotuu- 
dato-declivia, seriatim punctata, punctis ssepe obsoletis aut 
nullis; emarginatura scutellari subtviangulari. Pedes antici 
longi: femoribus $ elytris aut non aut parum longioribus. 
( Pheleuscelus ). Typus : Eusc. hamatus , Oliv. Congen. : 
Eusc. bipustulosus , Jekel, Huj.Op.; Eusc. aureolas 9 Klug, 
Sch.; Eusc. carneolus, Erichs.; Eusc. corallinus, Sch., and 
many other species. 
III. Antennae fere ut in Sect. II., sed clava crassiore, ovata aut 
oblongo-ovata, abruptius acuta. Scutellum fere ut in ilia, 
medio apicis plus minusve anguste subquadrato aut rotun- 
dato-elevatum. Elytra parum elongata, postice rotundato- 
declivia, punctato-scrobiculata aut foveolata, interstitiis an- 
gustis, plus minusve inaequalibus; emarginatura ut in Sect. 
II. Pedes ut in ilia. ( Coscineuscelus). Typus : Eusc. 
cribrarius , Oliv. Congen.: Eusc. angulosus , Sch.; Eusc . 
binotatus , Sch.; Eusc. ampleciens , Sch.; Eusc. nigricornis , 
Jekel, Huj. Op.; Eusc. dentipes , F.,* * and many others. 
IV. Ut in Sect. III., sed articulis funiculi antennarum crassis, apice 
subnodosis; clava evidenter 4-articulata, longissima, angusta, 
apice acutissima articulus duobus ultimis haud corneis, pal- 
lidis (Coryneuscelus). Typus: Eusc. armatus, Manh., Sch. 
Congen.: Eusc. spinifex , Oliv.; Eusc. fornicatus , Oliv., &c. 
the ultimate joint small, conic, entirely jointed at its base into the 
penultimate, and immediately decreasing in width, very seldom shows 
any appearance of articulation, being concealed under the thick pu¬ 
bescence. This observation is certainly applicable to many other 
CurculionidcBy showing an apparently 3-jointed club. 
* Attelabus dentipes , Gyll. in Sch. (I. i. 207, No. 22) must be dif¬ 
ferent from the Fabrician species, for the latter says of his insect (in 
Diagn.): “Elytris . . . . basi uni-spinosis ; ” (in Descr.) “Elytra dente 
baseos valido elevato .... Caput et thorax punctata.’’ The group of 
these West-Indian species is to be completely revised, there existing in 
the collections species connecting and linking the two above recorded.
