Abstract
The genus Epacalles Kissinger with its one included species, E. inflat us (Blatchley), is transferred from Cryptorhynchini to Molytini, Conot rachelina. Epacalles is closely related to species placed in the gener a Aenesias Champion and Lepilius Champion. Generic definitions need to be reconsidered in this group of taxa. A lectotype is designated for Zascelis oblonga Horn (Cryptorhynchini) and this species is transferre d to the genus Cnemidoprion as Cnemidoprion oblongus (Horn). Character states distinguishing C. oblongus from the only other species in the genus, C. serratipes Marshall are presented. The genus Crematogasterob ius Hustache and Bruch originally described in Curculioninae, Cryptorh ynchini is transferred from Cossininae, Acamptini, back to Cryptorhync hini and is recorded for the first time from Mexico. A lectotype is de signated for Menares pilicornis Champion and this genus and species ar e transferred from Curculioninae, Cryptorhynchini, to Cossoninae, Acam ptini. Menares is distinguished from other Acamptini on the basis of t oothed femora and a maculate elytral pattern.
