prosternum being strikingly like that of Capnochroa and set- 

 ting up strongly in the same way. The arrangement of the 

 coxae is as in that genus and the front tarsi correspond very 

 well. The form of the palpus is similar. Under high power, 

 the claws show transverse markings, which I think are the 

 somewhat obscured pectinations. The strength of the elytral 

 sculpture is indicated by its showing through, although the 

 specimen is preserved as an underside. A disturbing element 

 is introduced by the antennae, which are shorter and less serrate 

 than in the modern species, but I dislike to found a new 

 genus upon this character alone. Our living Capnochroa 

 fuliginosa occurs in the Atlantic district and as far west as 

 the Mississippi Valley.
