 are as in the preceding: the legs an' black, with the tibia and tarsi slight Ij piceous. 

 This species very much resembles the next: the stria' of the elytra are, however, obso- 

 lete, the sutural one alone being distinct, and the punctures are re distinct, and 



ifluent.

 From Fornax, this genus seems to be essentially distinguished by the plates of the pos- 

 terior coxae being less dilated, and truncate p i teriorly, so as to extend no farther at the 

 middle than at the internal margin. The antenna? are either serrate or pectinate, bul 

 never Gliform, as in Fornax: the ungues are not dentate, and the fourth joint of the tarsi 

 i- slightly lobed. The first . from the bad condition of the specimen in my collec- 



tion, was incorrectly stated bj me to have the tarsi not lob< d
