glyptolus. 63 



very pointed. Antennae slender , filiform , second joint 

 short, third more than twice as long, the rest of nearly 

 equal length. Thorax narrowly transverse, sides rounded, 

 surface transversely depressed, finely pubescent. Elytra 

 elongate, finely rugose-punctate, covered with thin pubes- 

 cence , their epipleurae prolonged nearly to the apex. 

 Prosternum invisible. Anterior coxal cavities open. Legs 

 slender and thin , tibiae unarmed , first tarsal joint as long 

 as the three following joints united. Claws appendiculate. 

 This genus will find its place in the 12th group of 

 Chapuis' arrangement , on account of the open coxal cavi- 

 ties, unarmed tibiae and appendiculate claws. The trans- 

 versely depressed thorax and the pubescent upper surface 

 will separate it from the other 2 genera forming this 

 section.
