220 PHYMECHUS. 



drangulari, marginibus denticulatis, apice subangulatim 

 modiceque dilatata, autice iu medio profunde emarginata; 

 maudibulis parvis. Anteunarum articiilis fere ut in genere 

 Cyriodonto Kirsch. Prothorax elongato-conicus, supra sub- 

 laevis. Elytra apici anguste subtruncata, supra juxta sutu- 

 rara striata, lateribus punctato-sulcata. Pedes validi, femo- 

 ribus intermediis et posticis tertio apieali dentatis, anterioribus 

 ante medium longe dentatis deinde subarcuatis; tibiis medi- 

 anis et posticis inermibus , auticis valde curvatis, apice 

 leviter, ante apicera intus longe dentatis; tarsis brevibus, 

 depressis , articulo 3° profunde diviso, articulo unguifero 

 elongato , subgracili. Abdomen basi late excavatum. 



Body elongate as in the genus Orychodes Pasc, but the 

 base of the rostrum is without apophyses, the apex is not 

 so enlarged , but similar to that of Cyriodontiis Kirsch, the 

 head is very different, the elytra striate along the suture 

 and punctato-sulcate at the sides; legs similar to those of 

 Orychodes J except the anterior thighs which are curved to- 

 wards the apex and toothed before the middle. From Cyriodon- 

 tus Kirsch , to which the new genus is allied by the apical 

 portion of the rostrum and other characteristics , it differs 

 by the body being more elongate , by the different sculp- 

 ture of the elytra, by the head which is broader and has 

 the posterior angles produced , by the prothorax being un- 

 armed anteriorly ; the anterior tibiae and the apical por- 

 tion of the thighs are curved, the thighs have the tooth 

 before the middle.
