part straight, or broadly but not deeply emarginate ; maxillae elongate, 

 robust, inner lobe ending in a sharp point, but very little developed, 

 upper lobe horny, armed with four long, sharp inner teeth {sulcicollis, 

 gracilis) or with six {trivialis), and having a fine pencil of hairs at the 

 tip ; apical joint of labial palpi sub-fusiform outwardly, but not in- 

 wardly, that of the maxillary elongate and fusiform ; clypeus plainly 

 narrowed laterally towards the apex and expanding there into two 

 sharply angular refiexed teeth ; antennas normally nine-jointed, club 

 not longer than the four preceding joints together ; eyes very large, 

 conspicuously divided in the anterior part by the canthus ; pro- 

 thorax a little ampliated laterally in the middle, more attenuated 

 in the anterior than in the posterior part, base very little arcuate, 

 hardly sinuate ; scutellum moderately long, ogival ; elytra elongate, 

 sinuate laterally but very little attenuated towards the apex, and 

 covering the greatest part of the propygidium ; pygidium sub- 

 vertical, abdomen very little compressed ; legs slender, all the tibiae 

 with an apical spur, which is, however, very small in the anterior 

 ones, and is even wanting in gracilis; the anterior tibiae are tri- 

 dentate outwardly, the two apical ones are oblique, but the shorter 

 basal one is straight ; anterior and intermediate claws double, un- 

 equal, the smaller one is very short, the anterior ones are both cleft, 

 but only the longer intermediate one is cleft, the hind ones are 

 single and simple. 



The three insects included in this genus are covered with very long 

 hairs and minute scales, or with appressed, slightly squamose hairs. 

 They are easily distinguished by the shape of the clypeus.
