A species sent me by M. Chevrolat, under the name 

 I adopt, is rather doubtfully assigned to this genus. It 

 agrees very nearly with a larger specimen, which I 

 obtained from Norris's Collection, and which I regard 

 as the female. In the first, the anal opening is formed 

 as in typical Hyas, but the apical segments are more 

 deeply excised. The antenna in this are wanting. In 

 my Norrisian specimen, the two ventral apical plates are 

 excised, but not deeply, the pygidial simply sinuate, and 

 not convex so as to form any large opening. The antennse 

 are long, sub-dentate ; two basal joints pale.
