 Coxrn anterior elongate-oval, not contingent, and not prominent. 

 intermediate ovate, moderately distant. 



posterior elongate-pj'riform, rkther remote, and nearly reaching to the sides of 

 the body.

The species of this genus may be readily distinguished from Sericoderus by 

 their eleven-jointed antennre, which are fortunately large, and easily extended. 

 The fifth and seventh articulations of the antennss are evidently enlarged in all 

 the species, and in some of them very conspicuously.
