In the & the trochanter of hind legs (Fig, 185) very strongly and 



peculiarly, triangular dolabriform dilated, half as long as femora; the 



sixth ventral abdominal joint is in a deep ana incurved impression armed 



with two, closely placed teeth. (Fig. 186).

The body is rather flat, and in appearance bears a resemblance of 

 Anthobium ; the head is narrower than pronotum, constricted behind, with 

 short, rounded off temples, and with rather large, protruding eyes, fore- 

 head flat, its impressions at fore-margin nearly obsolete, the foveae be- 

 fore the ocelli of vertex small or linear, antennae at middle peculiarly 

 thin, inasmuch as their third joint is unusually fine and rather attenu- 

 ated, the three following very small, rounded, the sevent joint is con- 

 siderably more robust than the sixth, and together with the last four, 

 robust joints form a five-jointed, strongly set off club. Pronotum is 

 narrower than elytra, without distinct longitudinal impressions identical 

 with Phyllodrepa ; elytra at least twice as long as pronotum; abdomen round- 

 ly tapering, its side-margins bioadly, upturned set off; tibiae spinifer- 

 ous, hind tarsi half as long as tibiae, their claw-joint as long as tne
