The type of this genus is a small testaceous insect without close 
relationship in any direction, except, perhaps, Acalyptus, with which 
it agrees in the somewhat flattened thorax, unarmed tibioe and the 
formation of the funicle. It agrees with Alycodes and Elleschus in 
the abdominal formation and appendiculate claws, but the fifth ven- 
tral segment is very long, and it is very different in other respects. 
E. tesf sicens n. sp. Plate vii, figs. 39, 39a, 39b, 39c. — Elliptic, testaceous, 
almost glabrous. Beak shiuiug, with a few remote punctures. Prothorax rather 
closely and finely punctured, with an ill-defined, smooth dorsal line extending 
from the anterior margin to about the middle. Elytral striie impressed, punc- 
tures moderate, close set; interspaces scarcely convex, slightly roughened ; under 
surface remotely punctulate. Long, nearly 2 mm. ; .07 inch. 
iTa6.— Buffalo, N. Y. 
A unique 9 in niy collection. Easily recognized by its pale color, 
ventral formation, unarmed tibise and apj)endiculate claw’s. In ap- 
pearance it resembles Notolomus basalis, without, however, the dark 
basal spot of the elytra.
