Stenociiia Kirby. 



Lahrum transversum, a pice rotundatum. 



Labium minutum, cunciforme. 



Mandibulce apice conniventes. 



Maxilla basi aperta;. 



Talpi omnes articulo extimo minus conipresso, obtriangulari. 



Mentum subtrapezifonne, disco subelevatum. 



Antennce cxtrorsum crassiores : articulo extimo oblongo. 



Corpus lineare, angustum. 



This genus possesses many characters in common with the pre^ 

 ceding; but it is sufficiently distinguished by its antennae, which 

 are not at all serrate, by its linear body, and cylindrical thorax. 

 I possess two species distinguished by the same character.
