Tribe I.— ASEMfllVI. 



This series contains the genera in wliicli the ligula is corneous, 

 with the supports of the labial palpi fixed and connate, not 

 retractile ; the eyes are usually coarsely granulated, but some- 

 times (Asemum, Tetropium, and Opsimus) the granulation is 

 very fine ; the antennge are sometimes short, sometimes long, 

 densely punctured and pubescent, and do not usually have any 

 well-defined sensitive spaces, the 2d joint is always half as long 

 as the 3d, and the 11th is simple; the front coxae are generally 

 transverse and angulated externally, with distinct trochantin, 

 and the cavities are always open behind ; the middle coxal cavi- 

 ties open externally ; the side pieces of the mesosternnm do not 

 intervene between the sterna; the mesosternnm is bent down 

 behind but not acutely emarginate for the reception of the inter- 

 coxal process ; the episterna of the raetathorax are narrowed
