Carneades, Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1869, p. 387 ; Colobothea, Thomson (partim), Class. Long. p. 21. 
Five species of this genus have been described, peculiar (like Colobothea) to Tropical 
America. It is distinguished from Colobothea chiefly by the antennal scape being 
abruptly clavate.

APECHTHES. 
Apechthes, Thomson, Class. Long. p. 362. 
In this genus the peculiarities which distinguish Colodothea from the other Acantho- 
cinini are carried a step further, the lateral compression of the body and the carine of 
the elytra being here still more strongly pronounced ; and, in addition, the elytra and
