103. 3enus Jeodromicus Eedtb. 



(Redtb. Faun. Austr. 1858, 224; Thorns. Skand. Col. Ill, 180; Rey Bre- 

 vip. 1880, 53; Janglb. Kaf. M. II, 710). 



From Anthophagus Jravh. , with which .ieodromicus formerly was united 



(cf. Sric'nson and Kraatz) , it is mainly separated only by, this: that 



the fourth joint of maxillary palpi is shorter, somewhat shorter than the 



third, which toward tip is rather strongly thickened, and that the claws 



are simple, without pad at base. Forehead at middle aeeply impressed and 



the body distinctly haired. From Lesteva it is separated namely by the 



different structure of maxillary palpi.
