Slenudaslus with Aitadastm are the Eastern representatives of 

 the New World genus Lanyuria. They are usually species of 

 moderate or small size. The eyes are either granulose, but not 

 very coarse, or finely facetted, but not so fine as in Langurio- 

 soma. The prosternai i)rocess is abruptly truncate, and margined 

 with a thickened edge ; the raesosternum has a small fossa for 

 the reception of its tip. The ventral lines are distinct, of two 

 types ; in the first Ijeginning as a marginal line at the apex of 

 the intercoxal process, they leave it without running parallel for 

 any part of their length, divaricating (Stenoclaslics) ; in the second, 

 they appear as fine raised lines running nearly parallel for half 

 the length of the segment, and then open out a little (Aiiada- 

 stics). The apices of the elytra are simple in most species of 

 both genera, but in some species of Anadastus here dcscriljed, 

 they are clearly truncate, a very mirmte nuicro, at either angle 

 being even present in some (.1. gratus).

Su])('rlicially rather strongly resembling Lmiguriosoma n/ou/ioti, 

 this insect may be distinguished from it by tlu' rather coarser 

 and more prominent eyes, antl by the tips of the elytra not 

 being truncate. The thorax is longer and less widened in front 

 than in t]i;it species, llie front angles are very acutt' and pi'o- 

 minent, the sides narrow from the midiUe to the front in rather 

 a straight line, from below the midille they are a little sinuate
