Leconte points out, as distinguishing this genus (or subgenus, as he prefers to term it) 
from Elaphidion (and Hypermallus), the following characters :—form more robust ; epi- 
sterna of the mesothorax wider in front and gradually narrowed behind ; prothorax wider, 
more coarsely punctured in the ? than in the d; and the antenne with distinct sensi- 
tive spaces, commencing with the fourth joint. The group seems a natural one; five 
species inhabiting the southern parts of the United States belong to it, one of which 
extends its range to Mexico.
