videtur, qui vero, vix nisi praecedentis radicula,) tota 

 quae restat antennae pars, clavam format permagnam, cras- 

 sam, parCim compressam, obovatam, summo apice tamen 

 tumescenti. Haec clava, sub oculo armato, articulata 

 attamen videtur, scilicet articulo basali brevi, semilunari, 

 2do maximo clavam veram constituente, apicali brevi sub- 

 mamillari tumido, his omnibus tamen sic intim^ connatis, 

 ut difRcilfe distinguuntur. Clava subtils visa, fere instar 

 cochleae duplicatae. Oculi laterales, parvi, rotundati, integri, 

 parilm prominuli. Ocelli nulli. Thorax qu^m longus latior, 

 marginatus, subcordatus, basi apiceque tamen truncatus, 

 angulis anticis rotundatis posticis subrectis, supr^ convexus, 

 (canalicula dorsali ?). Scutellum parvum triangulare. Ely- 

 tra ierh obovata, scilicet, jam ad basin thorace manifeste 

 latiora, versus medium aliquantiim dilatata, posteriiis an-

 mutici, antici basi approximati, postici verb insertione a se 

 invicem valde distantes, femoribus subclavatis, elytrorum 

 apicem haud attingentibus. TibicB muticae, compressae, 

 posticae paul6 curvatae. Tarsi graciles, longitudine dimidiae 

 tibiae, 4-articulati, articuli 1, 2, 3 minuti, brevissimi, api- 

 calis longitudine praecedentium conjunctim, biunguiculatus. 

 Abdomen planiusculum, segmentis 6, Imo reliquis mult^
