This genus is ap})arently most nearly allied to Bti<jrii<dl)ivi, 

 the M'ide fiat antennie, (not serrate however), and granulose 

 pronotum, are unlike anything to be found in that genus.

 Elytris basi summo ferrugineo, fasciis duabus albidis, rectis ; 

 usque ad fasciam primam crenato-rugosis, inde ad ai)iceni lutidis, 

 fere glabris. Long. lin. 4-4 1. 



Head shining, front i)unctured. Thorax longer than wide, 

 but much swollen below the front constriction, this part is 

 strongly granulose on the disc ; on each side is a rather large 

 impressed point round which the granulations are absent, the 

 base is strongly constricted but very close to the hind margin. 

 Elytra rugosely crenate-striate as far as the first i)ale fascia, the 

 extreme base brick red, this colour continued a little down the 

 suture, scutellum red, the second fascia is sub-apical, both are 

 testaceous and clothed with bright yellow hairs. Legs stout, 

 rather short, femora red excepting the posterior pair, which with 

 the tib;e and tarsi are black.

The character (so constantly repeated) of the very short first 

 joint of the tar.si is illusory, the basal or abortive joint is at 

 least as easily visible in the majority of species as in Omudiits ; 

 indeed apart from general facies (which form no guide in 

 several abnormal species) the width of the head between the
