rounded at tip, not sinuated or dentated ; poststernum punctured 

 before, punctures profound and distant ; feet, posterior pairs 

 testaceous, anterior pair in the -^ furnished with a prominent 

 angle or obtuse spine near the tip of the anterior edge of the 

 thigh. 



The elytra appear emarginated at the tip of the suture when 

 at rest, in consequence of each of them having a rounded termi- 

 nation. This species must have hitherto been confounded 

 with the Americamis with which it associates indiscriminately, 

 but is sufficiently distinct by the armature of the anterior femora 

 of the male and by the simply rotund termination of the elytra 

 in both sexes.

Kesembles G. natator, but that insect is larger ; it corresponds

 more obtusely rounded.
