Approaches nearest the genus Ochyropus, the head and mandibles 

 being very similar in shape to that of O. Savagei, the mandibles 

 shorter in the ? than in the ^. The normally slender tarsal claw- 

 joint and the metathoracic episterna very little longer than broad, 

 with correspondingly shorter and more ovate elytra effectually dis- 

 tinguish it from that genus.

Agrees with Chaudoir's definition of his genus 3Ienigius in all 

 characters except the distinct but small tooth at the lateral-basal angles 

 of the thorax. In his M. Schaumi, from Guinea, he says, " sans ves- 

 tige de dent." The genus is distinguished from Tceniolohus by the 

 singular form of the apex of the maxillae, obtuse, but prolonged later- 

 rally into a sharp tooth, visible only from beneath under the hair fringe. 

 The abdominal segments have very faint transverse basal sulci.
