Newman's original assignment of it to Thanai^hnus is nearest 

 the truth. From that genus it differs in the structure of the 

 antennae, from Clenis in that of its tarsi which have four joints 

 only visible above in the anterior and middle pairs {Clems 

 shewing 5.) From both, however, it diverges in the form and 

 scul})ture of the thorax, and in most minor details.

It is clear that if Ave folloAv Fab., .Spinola, and Facordaire in 

 adopting this name for the present genus, it must be on the 

 hypothesis that it had to Geoffroy a family signification, and 

 that he would probably have placed any insect belonging to the 

 group under the tenn ; any how, as he did not indicate a type 

 there can be no reason why the first of his three species should 

 be taken rather tlian either of the others. 



I have seen no species from other parts of the Avorld 

 than America, which can properly be referred to this genus. It 

 is, broadly speaking, peculiar to Tropical America, the species 

 from the Ignited States are abnormal.
