 mesosternuni is ajjparently rather long, the insi-rtion of the lej^s a])peanng

A single species is known, from western Colorado.

Head rather short, but otherwise pretty large, ajtparently smooth with 

 some curving ridges around the eyes; what are possibly the traces of an 

 antenna show a slender scape fully two-thirds as long ;is the beak and a 

 funicle, less distinct, perhajis as long as the scai)e. Prothorax very rugose, 

 made up of large, ratlier crowded granulations, showing some tendency to 

 a longitudinal arrangement, especially at the sides and on the arcuate 

 frontal process; sides of front margin nearly vertical, a little oblique, at a 

 little less than a right angle with the lower margin of the frontal process; 

 elytra with alternating close series of tubercular ridges and ))lain sulcations, 

 the tubercles corresponding in weight to the rugosities of the prothorax, the 

 whoh; surface also marked faintly with irregularly and indiscriminately 

 scattered, shallow, tolerably coarse |)unctures. Femora stout, especially 

 at tlie distal extremity, subequal, about as long as the body of the prothorax, 

 the surface with faint scattered small granules.

An Amencan t\pe with few species, found within or near the tropics. 

 Three species are recorded from the United States, but were regarded by 

 Le Conte as " rather opinionative than actual." It has never before been 

 found fossil, but I jilace a couple of species in this genus, thougli witli some 

 doubt. iJiinrijialh on account of ilie nnu li more gradual forward tapenng 

 of the thorax and tlie lack of any expansion of the l)ase of tiie rostrum.
