HIPPISCUS, Sauss. 



Body robust, crassate, but much compressed. Head much compressed, 

 sub-vertical ; face arcuate ; frontal costa very prominent. Antennal foveolas 

 large, extending downward as far as the frontal costa ; antennae slender, flat- 

 tened. Pronotum in no way constricted ; disk flat ; margins with acute 

 carinse, which curve inward. It resembles Stauronotus in the thorax, and
