This genus connects Latreille’s tribe of Cebrionites (Cebrionide K.) 
with the Elateride. It differs from all the present genera of that 
tribe in its moniliform antenne and short palpi, and more espe- ` 
cially in having its labrum quite concealed by the clypeus. From 
Elater, which in habit it most resembles, it is distinguished not 
only by these circumstances, but also by its protended mandibles 
and deflexed sternum. |
