Family: Curculionidae
More elongate than the preceding (C. griseus), but otherwise closely resembling it. The beak is similarly curved and sculptured, but is longer. The prothorax is not constricted in front, and the scales are somewhat less narrow, though also directed transversely; the sides are much less rounded. The elytra are deeply striate, clothed with narrow, pale scales, arranged in rather confused single series on the inner interspaces, but with regular rows on the outer ones. The body beneath is densely clothed with oval pale scales; the prosternum is transversely impressed as usual, but also slightly foveate and flattened, though the fovea is concealed by the scales. The front coxae are not widely separated, the metathoracic side pieces are wide, and the fifth ventral segment is nearly as long as the third and fourth united. Funicle of antennae rather slender; second joint a little longer than third.
Length 3.0mm.; 0.12 inch.
