as equally faint, lonnitudiual, wa\^y rugubt', the rostrum exceedingly short 

 and l)lunt. The prothorax, represented as too short anteriorly on the plate, 

 is more coarsely but shallowl}' and rather closely punctate, the puncta very 

 evenly distributed, as is also the case ou the metasternum. The tegmiua 

 are each about three times as long- as broad, as exposed to view, with eight 

 or more equidistant punctate stri;e (granulate ridges on this cast), the puncta 

 following each otlier closely, rather larger than on tlie prothorax; C(ninting 

 from the outer edge, the third and sixth stria- meet near tlic tip of the teg- 

 mina in an acute angle. Tiie elytra are also covered witli suljerect liairs 

 about half as long as tlie width of the interspaces between the elytra. The 

 legs are slender, moderately short, the femora very slightly swollen, the 

 second joint of the tarsi very simple and not at all swollen.

The genus belongs to Europe and America, and especially the latter, 

 where we find eight species in the United States, widely distributed, while 

 one is found in South xVmerica. A fossil insect from Green River, Wyoming, 

 is referred here with some doubt.
