joints of antennae, and long setae of hind tibiae. Two species are

 long as or longer than head, finely pubescent, 2 about one- 

 fourth longer than 3, the latter nearly three times longer than 

 4 ; beak reaching middle coxae, first joint reaching base of head ; 

 pronotum trapezoidal, slightly wider at base than long, the 

 carinas of its side margins prominent, disk smooth or nearly 

 so, its hind margin broadly concave ; mesoscutum broadly ex- 

 posed and with a deep fovea each side of base ; elytra entire, 

 surpassing abdomen, large cell of membrane entirely hyaline ; 

 tibiae finely pilose; femora feebly swollen toward base. Seven 

 species occur in North America, all in our territory.
