26 EUPHENGKS. 



Antennae (Tab. I. fig. 7 a) more or less incrassated and subpu- 

 bescent, in length equal to two-thirds of that of the elytra ; the 

 first joint is narrow at the base, dilated medially, and distinctly 

 curved outwards ; the second short and ovate ; the third elongated, 

 of greater length than the second, fine, and very slightly incrassated 

 towards the apex ; the fourth of the same form (but hardly so long) 

 as the third; the fifth to the eighth short, distinctly dilated, the 

 breadth of the seventh being almost equal to its length ; the apical 

 joints are more attenuated: all are (when viewed under a high power) 

 subpubescent, the apex especially of each joint being clothed with a 

 few distinct and strong hairs. The antennae are approximate at their 

 base, situated immediately below and between the eyes. 



Eyes large, subglobose, situated nearly at the base of the head. 



Head transverse ; when viewed from the side, inclined at right 

 angles to the plane of the elytra ; not produced in front, deeply and 

 thickly punctate. 



Thorax elongate, slightly broader than the head, rectangular, 

 somewhat constricted towards the base ; the sides are depressed and 

 deeply marginate : very deeply and coarsely punctate. 



Scutellum triangular, impunctate, situated below the plane of the 

 elytra. 



Elytra considerably broader than the thorax, robust, slightly at- 

 tenuated towards the apex : in Lemoeides, a few deep and scattered 

 punctures are found antemedially, grouping themselves around a 

 deeply incised medial oblique depression. 



Legs robust; under a high power very finely pubescent. The 

 anterior femora are slightly incurved, with a tendency to dilatation 

 medially and near the apex. The tibia? are straight, and of the same 

 breadth throughout. The tarsi (Tab. I. fig. 7 d) are short, more di- 

 stinctly pubescent ; the basal joint is broad, cordiform ; the second 

 smaller than either the first or the third, and ovate ; the third is 

 shorter than the first, but somewhat broader, fringed throughout 

 with a thick and close pubescence, not bilobed; the apical joint is 

 elongate, gradually incrassated towards the apex. The terminal claw 

 is simple, not toothed in its inner surface. The posterior femora are 

 (when viewed transversely) oviform, considerably incrassated through- 

 out, but most so medially. The tibia (Tab. I. fig. 7 g) is short, of 

 equal breadth throughout, slightly incurved at its immediate base ; 

 and beyond the insertion of the tarsus (where it is somewhat dilated) 

 more distinctly sinuated, and produced at the extremity into two 

 curved, short, and robust teeth; the insertion of the tarsus is at 

 between one-sixth and one-fifth of its total length. The tarsus 

 (Tab. I. fig. 7 h) is more elongate than the anterior, and considerably
