At first sight similar to Lamxnjrls 7narghiipennis and a 

 little to Diaplianes limhatus, separable of course from both 

 by the compressed, serrate antennre. The thorax is much 

 shorter than in the latter, obsoletely carinate and Avith 

 acute angles, the front with two diaphanous areolets. The 

 elytra are opaque, and the colour of the abdomen will 

 separate it from marginipennis (in which it is wholly 

 yellow.)

I cannot find any satisfactory point of difference in the 

 males of this and noctiluca ; the female is said to have 

 small rudiments of elytra.
