SERENTHIA, Spin. 
(Agramma, D. & 8.) 
A very distinct genus, by its long shape and the obtuse 
sides of its pronotum; the head is rounded and obtuse, 
with strong antenniferous tubercles, the third joint of the 
antenne slightly tapers to its apex, and is about equal in 
length to the first and second together; rostral canal very 
large, closed in front; the pronotum is elongate, with the 
sides straight, the anterior margin emarginate and raised, 
the base produced in a long acute angle over the scutellar 
region ; elytra with fine mesh-like punctures; membrane 
indistinct. 
There are six European species, of which femoralis, 
Thoms., is quite likely to occur here ; it may be known by 
its larger size, more distinct membrane, and polygonal 
meshes. 
S. leta, Fall.—Small, oblong, three times as long as 
wide. Head and pronotum black, the former simply 
punctured, the latter with large, mesh-like punctures ; 
anterior margin and basal angle pale ; disc with an elevated 
dorsal line throughout its entire length ; elytra pale ochreous, 
simple, without dorsal carine, closely punctured with round 
mesh-like punctures; abdomen black; legs testaceous ; 
apical joint of the tarsi black ; edges of the cheeks beneath, 
which form the sides of the rostral canal, pale, as well as the 
posterior margin of the metasternum, a spot near each 
coxa, and a ring round the orifice of the odoriferous sac.
