322 Mr. Charles J. Gahan on new 



half-way to the base of the mandibles. Antennae a little longer 

 than the body, with the scape rather stout, elongate, reaching 

 beyond the middle of the prothorax, with the third joint scarcely as 

 long as the scape, with the fourth and following joints gradually 

 diminishing in length. Prothorax sub-cylindrical, as long as 

 broad, armed with a strong tubercle on each side just behind the 

 middle. Elytra much broader than the prothorax, slightly and 

 gradually narrowed up to their posterior third, and from thence 

 more abruptly narrowed to the apex. Legs of moderate length, 

 with the femora very stout and fusiform, the posterior a little 

 longer and stouter than the anterior. Intermediate tibiae entire. 

 Claws of the tarsi divergent. Sternal processes simple, very 

 feebly arched. Intermediate cotyloid cavities open on the outside. 



This genus must, I think, be placed near Planodema 

 in Lacordaire's group Thcocrime. Its unique species 

 has somewhat the appearance of a Monuluwimus, but is 

 easily distinguished by its long scape destitute of a 

 cicatrice, its stout fusiform femora, its divergent claws 

 and entire intermediate tibiae.
