Tribe IV. HETEROTARSIXI. 



Small oval winged species, having the upper surface very coarse- 

 ly punctate and usually sparsely clothed with erect hairs ; head not 

 received in the thorax as far as the eyes, which are large and 

 coarsely granulated; front slightly dilated over the base of the 

 mandibles; epipleura? narrow, extending to tips of elytra; front 

 coxse globose; middle ones with a distinct trochantin; hind ones 

 slightly separated; tarsi coarsely pubescent beneath. Three genera 

 are recognized, all of which are probably represented in the State.
