Sometimes the antennae are straight, inserted upon the proboscis, and composed of from nine totwelve joints. Those which have the three or four terminal joints forming a mass, compose the genus—?Attelabus, Linn., and particularly of Fabricius. They devour the leaves or tender parts of vegetables, the females of the majority rolling up the leaves, in whichthey lay their eggs, furnishing also a retreat for their young during the period whilst they are feeding. The proportions of the prohoscis, the manner in which it is terminated, the tibiae and abdomen, have affordedcharacters for the establishment of four 3, Rhyni 540 INSECTA.

Rhynchites, has the proboscis dilated at the tip, and the abdomen nearly Bacc/itts [a splendid but very rare British species], lives on the vine, the larvjeinhabiting- the rolled-up leaves, which it devours, and thus sometimes commitsgreat damage. ApioHy Herbst., has the body pear-shaped. See the monographs of Germar andKirby, in Tmns. Linn. Soc^ vol. xii. [Some of the species do much damage,devouring the seeds of clover.] Rhinotia, Kirby [Beliis, Sch.]) has the body almost linear, and the antennaethickened, but not clubbed. Enrhinns, Kirby, has the antennas terminated by a long mass, the last jointbeing greatly elongated in the males. Tubicenus, T>e}. (Auletes, Sch.), has the antennae terminat
