 narum basi, elytris, pedibusque flavis":

Inhabits South America. A single spe- 

 cimen, taken by Mr. Darwin on the Island of Chiloe, is in the cabinet 

 of the Entomological Society of London. 



This fine insect in some of its characters closely resembles Odon- 

 tocera of Serville, but the structure of its antennae, the tooth on each 

 side of its prothorax, and its slender and simple pro- and meso-femo- 

 ra, incline me to consider the similarity merely dependant on its nar- 

 rowed elytra and hirsute metatibiae, and not implying any very near 

 approach to that well-known genus.
