Species of medium size, having the antenna 3 slender, two-thirds 

 or more the length of body, joints cylindrical: maxilla 1 armed be- 

 neath with bristles; scutellar stria 3 of elytra always very distinct. 

 About 24 species are known from the United States. Of these but

 base, the humeri distinct, the third interval with four or five large 

 dorsal punctures. For literature see :
