Form elongate-cylindrical; nientnm narrowed toward base; 

 antenna! fnnicle 5-jointed, sometimes with four joints in the

The species here included in Kfr/rttditoflcrcs were referred to 

 iiiN by Le<Ymte, who stated that the outer part of the 

 funicle was shorter than the first joint, and so indistinctly di- 

 vided as to be without value in classification. He differentiated 

 tiix by head larger and more exserted than in Piti/opJi- 

 ; eyes narrowly emarginate; club round, compressed, mod- 

 crate in size, divided by straight sutures on both sides; tarsi .~- 

 jointcd, the third longer than preceding, fourth small as usual, 

 fifth elongate; libi;r- sen-ale toward tip; declivity of elytra no<- 

 retnse or silicate. The species of Xh'jilni notlcrcx are consolidated 

 with Hi/i>()tJt('ii('iiiitx by IJeitter also; 1he number of funicular
