length of the body, not thickened towards the apex, the third joint 

 elongate, the fourth two-thirds the length of the third, the fifth to 

 ninth slightly diminishing in length, the tenth a trifle longer, the 

 eleventh elongate-ovate. Thorax regularly narrowed from the base to 

 the front, all the angles acute. Elytra very little longer than broad, 

 very convex, rounded at the sides and apex. Presternum not keeled ; 

 bluntly rounded and not produced posteriorly. Mesosternum very 

 slightly emarginate ; its angles not prominent. Legs long and slender ; 

 the tarsi narrow, the basal joint of the intermediate tarsi as long as 

 the three following together ; the basal joint of the posterior tarsi 

 very long ; the penultimate joint in all the tarsi pencillated anteriorly 

 below. 



This genus must at present be placed next to Cliartopteri/x, with 

 which it agrees in general character ; but the structure of the antennae 

 is quite different, and peculiar in the group.
