504. Mr. Kirsy’s Description of Insects 
Lingua* tenuis apice furcata, utrinque paraglossa recta lineari. 
Mentum breve, transversum, supra inæquale. 
Maxille apice spina recta inflexa. 
Palpi labiales triarticulati : articulis duobus primis tenuioribus 
subcylindricis primo brevissimo : extimo crassiori arcuato. 
—— maxillares mandibulis longiores quadriarticulati : articulo 
primo brevissimo; secundo sequentibus crassiori apicem ver- 
sus sensim incrassato, tertio obconico, extimo subfusiformi. 
Antenna filiformes, capite thoraceque longiores; articulo primo 
reliquis crassiori cylindrico ; secundo minutissimo. 
Corpus valde depressum. Caput thoracis fere magnitudine, pos- 
tice collo distincto. Prothorax postice attenuatus, utrinque 
in angulum obtusum prominens, ita ut fere hexagonus evadit. 
Pedes tibiis anticis intus emarginatis, tarsis omnibus dilatatis: 
articulo penultimo bilobo. Elytra haud abbreviata, prope 
apicem externe subemarginata. Abdomen ano obtuso. 
This genus appears to connect the Lebiade with the Galeri- 
tidæ. The type is, I suspect, oriental, and appears quite distinct 
from any genus at present defined.
