basal angles of the prothorax. The genus is however very peculiar 

 in having three series of setigerous elytral punctures, exactly as in 

 the Selenophorini. The mental emargination is very evenly, 

 circularly sinuate, the ligula very slender, detached from the para- 

 glossse, which are of a form completely unlike that seen in Amerinus, 

 they being elongate, parallel, concave throughout their length and 

 with their apices evenly rounded. The labial palpi are only moder- 

 ately slender, the second joint somewhat compressed and shorter 

 than the third, the apex of which is rather rapidly and finely subu- 

 late. The inner lobe of the maxilla is moderately hooked at tip 

 and the last joint of the outer lobe very gradually acuminate. The 

 only properly glabrous antennal joint is the first, the second to 

 fourth are successively more closely pubescent. The mandibles are 

 rather short as usual, the eyes somewhat small and feebly convex 

 and the frontal foveae are oblique and linear, but do not quite attain 

 the eyes. The neck is rather long and gradually narrowed basally. 

 The scutellar stria is well developed and the lateral line of foveae 

 only very imperfectly interrupted medially. The anterior tarsi 

 of the male are rather strongly dilated, the joints short, transverse, 

 sharply angulate and with a long stiff seta at each side and have 

 beneath joints 1-4 two long and rather narrow, irregular, hyaline 

 squamules, semi-erect in position among numerous long hairs; 

 the middle tarsi are not at all modified. The single known species 

 is the following: 



Body elongate, slender, very depressed, the upper surface nearly flat, 

 shining, testaceous, the head and the elytra, excepting the sides 

 and suture, infumate; under surface of the hind body somewhat 

 piceous, the legs pale flavo-testaceous; head smooth, with unusually 

 elongate neck behind the notably small and feebly convex eyes, 

 large, nearly four-fifths as wide as the prothorax, the antennae rather 

 obscure testaceous, gradually clearer basally, unusually long and 

 thick, nearly two-thirds as long as the body; prothorax not quite as 

 long as wide, strongly rounded at the sides, the latter becoming 

 rather abruptly deeply sinuate and thence parallel to the base in 

 about basal fifth, the angles right and very sharply defined; base 

 transverse, much narrower than the sinuato-truncate apex; surface 

 very feebly convex, smooth, the stria fine but broadly impressed, 

 entire and distinct; foveae narrow, linear and rather deeply impressed 

 in basal third, not attaining the base, impunctate; elytra nearly 

 one-half longer than wide and two-fifths wider than the prothorax, 

 the sides subparallel and broadly arcuate, the apex rapidly very 

 obtuse, the sinus obsolete; striae rather fine and feebly impressed, the
