Species of medium size, having the antenna' slendei', two-thirds 

 or moi'e the length of body, joints cylindrical: maxilhp armed be- 

 neath Avith bristles; scutellar strife of elytra always very distinct. 

 About 24 species are known from the United States. Of these but 

 one has l)een taken in Indiana, though two others may possibly oc- 

 cur. These three species are black and have the elytra truncate at 

 base, the humeri distinct, the third interval with four or five large 

 dorsal punctures. For literature see :
