In this genus which is allied to the preceding, the scrobes 

 run together beneath the rostrum, the eyes are placed lower 

 down so as not to be seen from above, and the outermost 

 joints of the funicle are shortly cylindrical , not rounded. The 

 only exponent of this genus at present has a smooth glossy 

 front in striking contrast with the rostrum.
