It is almost needless to say that it is impossible to arrange 

 the species of this oi' any other lary:o genus in a natural se-

Acicnemis, as defined by Lacordaire, does nut include Mr. Fair- 

 maire's A. variegata which belongs to Berethia. The genus is verj' 

 numerous in species, but the coloration and structural characters 

 are not easily defined. In the above a small but conspicuous 

 white spot on the middle of each elytron seems pretty constant. 

 The club of the antenn;e in this and some others species appear 

 to be one-jointed owing to its being densely tomentose. Many 

 have the large triangular tooth on the anteriur femora ciliated 

 or serrated - or both - on the outer margin.
