known not only by the particulars before noticed, but also by its 

 transverse Jabrum, its entire and very concave maxillae, and by 

 tlic clvtra covering all the joints of the upper side of the abdomen 

 but the last; whereas in Apogonia the two last joints are uncovered. 

 Geniatcs may be distinguished from Apogonia not only by this 

 last circumstance, in which it agrees w\\.\\ Anoplognathits, but also 

 by having a transverse labrum, maxillae armed with three teeth, 

 by the insertion of its head, which is inclined towards the horizon, 

 whereas in Apogonia it is nearly vertical, by having a joint less in 

 its antenna;, by the beard on its chin, and remarkable dilated 

 anterior tarsi before noticed, b}' having only its exterior claw, and 

 not both, liifid at the apex; and lastly, by the remarkable thumb- 

 like process at the base of the inner anterior claw.
