As Cliampion remarks (siqira) the chief cliaracteristics of this 

 genus are the short backwardly-ciirved orifice of the metastethium 

 and the strongly pilose elytra, the outer margin of the enibolium 

 appearing ciliate. From Lippomaniis it is distinguished by the 

 longer anterior margin of the pronotum, and thus the less oblique 

 structure of same, the straighter or slightly convex, not concave 

 margins of the corium, &c.
