Wesm. Bui. Ac. Brux. 1849, p. 118; Schizopoina, Forst. Verh. pr. Rheinl. 1868, 

 p. 145. 



Head closely punctate and sometimes posteriorly buccate ; clypeus 

 apically reflexed and centrally emarginate ; Irons dentate and eyes large. 

 Antennae subfiliform and somewhat slender, not as long as body. Thorax 

 coarsely punctate, with notauli broad and usually deeply impressed ; 

 metathorax reticulate and irregularly costate, with basal transcarina and 

 costulae usually traceable, its apex produced and strongly elevated on 

 either side. Scutellum discally deplanate, centrally longitudinally ex- 

 cavate. Hind legs somewhat stout, the two basal tarsal joints explanate 

 and in (J spatuliform with the second nitidulous, and in both sexes fully 

 half length of the first; claws very strongly geniculate, small and basally 

 lobed. 



The neuration differs in no essential particular from that of the next 

 genus. Only our two indigenous kinds are known in Europe, though 

 an Indian and American species have also been described. The females 

 here brought forward are very similar and have hitherto been mixed 

 under the first species.
