elongatum, arcuatum, supra basin versus longitudinaliter 

 striolatum ; scrobes postmedianae, laterales ; scapus oculum 

 attingens ; funiculus 5-articulatus, articulis 1° 2' 3°que 

 conjunctis vix longiori ; clava distincta ; prothorax subconi- 

 cus, basi subtruncatus ; scutellum minutissimum ; elytra sat 

 elongata, prothoiace parum vel modice latiora ; pedes medio- 

 cres ; femora mutica, in medio incrassata ; tibiae intus vix 

 flexuosse, anticae intus angulatim dilatatse sed vix mucronatse ; 

 tarsi 3-articulati ; abdominis segmenta S'™ 4*^™ que conjuncta 

 2° vix breviora, sutura prima parum arcuata, suturis inter- 

 mediis ad latera angulatis ; coxse anticse contiguse, intermediae 

 subapproximatse ; prosternum antice breve vix emarginatum. 

 It is very difficult to form a decided opinion as to the affinities 

 of the insect for which 1 propose this name. Superficially it 

 looks as if it might well stand in the same genus as Misophrice 

 parallela (which species I have remarked above does not seem at 

 home in Misophrice) but its 5-jointed funiculus is inconsistent with 

 such a conjunction. This latter character is suggestive of rela- 

 tion to Gionus, but 1 do not find other characters to confirm the 

 suggestion. The pygidium is entirely covered by the elytra and 

 the metasternum is moderately elongate. The Erirhinides and 

 Tycldides would seem to have almost equal claims to a clawless 

 species, but as none such have hitherto been actually attributed to 

 the latter tribe and as the genera belonging to it usually show 

 peculiai-ities about the ventral sutures of which I find no indica- 

 tion in the insect before me, I think this genus had better be 

 regarded as an Erirhinid with exceptional antennae as well as 

 exceptional tarsi.
