 Calodera , and plclna a small Ocalea . Ihe correspondance namely in struc- 

 ture of tongue, labial palpi, and tarsi however permits that they, not 

 withstanding other differences can be assigned to the same genus, but 

 separated into different subgenera. 



The head is most often proportionately large and thick and about as 

 broad as pronotum, only in procidua much narrov^er than same; it is some- 

 what porrect, but posteriorly not, or only inconsiderably ( maura, picina ) 

 constricted; ^enae and temples are marginated; eyes not prominent; anten- 

 nae short or rather short, thin at base, distinctly thickened distally, 

 their next-last joints transverse. In structure of mouth-parts Ocyusa 

 has most likeness vjith Ox.ypod a, it is however noted as a peculiarity, 

 that the tongue is not, like in this genus cleft to the middle, but is 

 only angularly incised at tip. Labial palpi are more slender than in 

 Oxypoda , and their first Joint nearly as long as the two following joints 

 together. In incrassata the right mandible is provided with an acute and 

 robast tooth, in the other species the tooth is small. 



Pronotum can be about as broad as elytra ( procidua , incrassata) or 

 distinctly narrower than these ( maura , and picina) . Elytra in the two 

 former species are only as long as pronotum, in the others a little longer 

 than this, their posterior margin inside the outer corners more or less 

 incurved. Abdomen is not smoothly tapering like in most of the Oxypoda , 

 but rather a little widened posteriorly ( prociaua , incrassata ) or rather 

 evenly broad; its three, more rarely four ( picina ) first free dorsal joints 

 are rather strongly depressed at base, and the fifth is not, like in Ox - 

 poda . notably longer than the fourth; neither is the vestlture of abdomen
