Mandibule apice conniventes, bidentatæ.

Palpi filiformes, maaillares elongate. 
Mentum trapeziforme. 
Antenne graciles, subclavatæ: clava triarticulata. 
Corpus oblongo-ovatum. 
This genus is intermediate between Pimelia and Tentyria: from 
the former it is distinguished by its bifid labium, by its quadran- 
gular mentum, narrowest below so as not to cover the base of the 
maxilla, and by its long, slender, clavate antennz ; and from the 
latter, besides these characters, by its emarginate labrum. It is 
to be observed, that in this latter organ Pimelia muricata and his- 
pida differ from each other, as well as in their antenne, and the 
form of their bodies; hence the genus might be divided into two 
families, * Corpore subgloboso, ** Corpore oblongo.
