One example. £. sulcatula may be known by its depressed, broad, and somewhat 
parallel form and sulcate elytra. Labelled #. melanaria, Sol., in the Sallé collection, 
but not agreeing with the description of that species.

epistoma separated from the front by a distinct transverse line; prothorax transverse, as broad as the 
elytra, the sides somewhat dilated and strongly rounded, widest about the middle, a little narrower at the 
base than at the apex, strongly emarginate in front, the anterior angles broad though not acute, hind 
angles obtuse, the base nearly straight, the disc slightly raised in centre of anterior margin, smooth, with 
a few scattered very fine punctures along the sides and near the anterior angles; elytra a little wider than 
the thorax at the base, the sides slightly rounded, not wider in the widest part than the thorax, the 
humeri indistinct, with scattered very fine punctures and no traces of strie ; anterior tibie slightly curved, 
the upper spur distinctly longer than the lower; anterior femora swollen and feebly sinuate towards the 
apex; anterior tarsi somewhat densely clothed with spiny hairs beneath.

thorax.
