Has the appearance of Stauronotus. Antennae elongate, filiform. Back 

 of the head elevated ; occiput ascending, descending at the vertex ; foveola 

 channeled, strongly deflexed, thrust down upon the frontal costa ; margins 

 acute ; no lateral foveolse present. Face vertical ; frontal costa equally prom- 

 inent; lateral carinse distinct, angulate above. Pronotum sub-constricted, 

 furnished above with a median carina; truncate in front; posterior extremity 

 triangular, tip acute-angled ; humeral angle obtuse, with carinse in front, 

 not continuous, but descending obliquely upon the sides of the pronotum, and 

 there forming acute carinse, produced almost to the anterior margin of the 

 lateral lobes ; dorsal carinye anteriorly distinct, converging, and approximate 

 posteriorly, but not extending beyond the jjosterior transverse sulcus. Pos- 

 terior femora slender. Elytra longer than the abdomen, narrow. (A white 

 cross on the pronotum.) 



Remark. — This appears to form the connecting link between my second 

 division of CEdipoda and Stauronotus. (Thomas.)
