O. insequalis. Ceutorhynchus inmq. Saj', Cure. 20; ed. Lee. i, 280. Middle, Southern and Western States. Easily known hy the hroad form and dark color; the prothorax has four large tubercles, of which the outer ones are acute; the dorsal canal is prolonged to the apical margin. whicli is slightly omarginated thereby. The alternate interspaces of the elytra are more elevated and somewhat uneven, as in certain Conotracheli. Length mm.; .11 inch. CNEMOQONUS n. g. The tibia'of one species are so different from those of the other Cixliodes. that I am obliged to regard it as a separate genus. They are, namely, mucli flattened and dilated externally, so as to form a large angle near the knee. The outer apical angle of the front tibia; is prolonged in a toothed process, as in Caliodes, and the other tibia; are obliquely truncate and fringed externally. In other respects this genus agrees with Caliodes; the pectoral groove is not prolonged into the metasternum, as in Craponius, nor are the til)iie grooved externally for the reception of the tarsi. The thighs are not toothed, and the claws are armed with a short tooth, not cleft, as in deUodes. O. epilobii. Cure. epilohiiVayk., Faun. Suec. iii, 259; Rhyncfufmis ep. Gyll., &c.; Caliodes ep.

Apart from the generic characters above given, this spe cies is easily known by the interspaces of the elj'tra, rough with s
