CYMUS, Hahn. 
There are only four Kuropean species of this genus, three 
of which are found in this country. They are subelongate 
in form, with the sides of the elytra more or less rounded ; 
the eyes do not quite touch the pronotum, the antenni- 
ferous tubercules are well defined and angular, the cheeks 
are much shorter than the central lobe; the pronotum is 
trapezoidal, the scutellum short, the apical margin of the 
corium long, legs short, simple. All the species are ochreous 
in colour, glabrous and punctured ; they are found by sweep- 
ing in damp places, and are all closely allied.

carina, dorsal carina of pronotum elon- 
gate extending for nearly two thirds of 
itslength =. - GLANDICOLOR, 
(25 Scutellum without a keel or with only a
