verse, with the middle legs more widely apart at the base than the fore ones, whilst the metasternum is very 
large and transverse, with a central impressed longitudinal line ; the middle legs being inserted far apart, with 
the coxa but very slightly developed. The basal segment of the abdomen is large, the four following very short, 
and the terminal joint large, and rounded at its extremity. 
This species seems to connect Kctrephes with certain Histeride, such as Het@rivs, and especially with 
Terapus (De Marseul, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1862, p. 680, pl. VII.)
