Before proceeding to a more complete examination of the following 
genera, it may be useful to arrange them tabularly, affixing to each 
a brief note of their respective special characters. The present paper 
deals with the following genera :— 
Aspu#ra. Sides of thorax rounded and broadly marginate, anterior 
angles produced in front, not laterally; of the antenne the 3rd, 
4th, and 5th joints are subequal; the unguiculi are simple or 
appendiculated. 
Aspiceta. As in Asphera, the unguiculi being almost bifid. This 
may be only a Columbian form of Asphera. 
LirosonycHa. Thorax rectangular, the sides of the thorax straight 
and narrowly marginate; the other characters as in Asphera. 
Sorpprana. Form ovate; antenne short and incrassate, the 1st and 
11th joints being alone elongate. 
CramopHorsa. Closely allied to Aspicela; thorax smaller; elytra 
more ovate; palp., max., and antenne also differ. 
Pepin1a. Form ovate, very depressed ; antennee incrassated, joints 
1 and 3 elongate ; post. femora short and very thick. 
Ora. Ovate, very depressed; post femora short and very thick. 
CyrrospHarus. Rotundate; antenne incrassate, joints 1 and 3 
elongate. 
Dirwavraca. Thorax narrower than elytra, sides rotundate, base 
with transverse fovea ; antenne with joints 3-5 subequal; max. 
palpi, terminal joint produced. 
PsmapHa. Parallel, robust; thorax large and foveolate at base ; 
anterior femora incrassated. 
Oxyconus. Thorax with post. angles rounded and marked with a 
small projection or elbow; elytra not punctate-striate ; antenn 
with joints 3-11 elongate and subsequal.
