In its broader outline this genus dili'ers from its allies. Like 

 Semiathe it has a scutellum and femora not canaliculate beneath 

 but with a short rostrum and corresponding pectoral canal , and 

 the tibiae are not compressed and dilated at the base nor groo- 

 ved. The scales on the elytra, except the spotted portions are 

 round, concave with a somewhat thickened border, giving them 

 a dry filmy appearance. Similar scales, but somewhat less co- 

 lourless, in a fresh state apparently cover the prothorax, eacii 

 scale lying over or attached to a well-defined puncture.

A short robust form, the prothorax rather broadei* and as 

 long as the elytra. Caniia which it resembles in outline, differs 

 in the pectoral canal terminating in an elevated ridge of the 

 mesosternum and in its shorter and stouter femora. Xychusa has 

 a prothorax with a raised basal margin, and ovate elytra. The
