The type of the present genus, which was described by Marsham as a. 
Lytta, and which is the only species in the genus, departs considerably 
from the appearance of the Anthici, especially in the shape of the head

nation enables me to correct his description of the colour of the head, 
which he states to be black, The head of the insect is, however, dark 
ferruginous brown, with large black eyes. It does not appear to be no- 
ticed by the continental writers, since Marsham’s reference to the Wotoxus
