This genus is to be recognized by the length of the rostrum, 

 which readies the third abdominal segment, or is even longer ; 

 the second jdint of the antennae is a little longer than the third, 

 the third shorter than the fourth. These are the dimensions of 

 the antennal joints as given by Signoret, but the second joint of 

 the antennae can scarcel}'^ be regarded as longer than the third.
