VI, 1835, 188 ; ibid. II, 627. 



Elongate, moderately convex, slightly narrower behind the middle. 

 Black, shining, sparsely clothed with inconspicuous yellow hairs. Antennae 

 piceous, subset-rate, not extending beyond hind angles of thorax. Head 

 coarsely and deeply punctured. Thorax longer than wide, sides straight 

 and parallel behind the middle, obliquely converging on apical third; me- 

 dian line deeply impressed on basal third; surface rather densely punctate 

 on sides, less so at middle. Elytra without stri:o, except the sulural. which 

 extends two-thirds from apex to base; surface rather coarsely but not very 

 densely punctured. Length T-S.5 mm.

VI. FORNAX Lap. 1835. (L., "a furnace.") 



Beetles of small or medium size, having the head convex, deeply, 

 inserted; prosternal sutures distinct, slightly divergent; antennal 

 grooves deep, sharply limited on each side; elytra striate; last 

 ventral segment obtuse ; hind tarsi with the first joint as long as the 

 others combined, the fourth broader, excavated above and slightly

 two others probably occur.
