All the examples are females, except one, distinguished 

 by the slightly longer antennae, the apical joints of 

 which are rather longer and more slender. The abdo- 

 men in all the examples is at least one-fom-th shorter 

 than the elytra, triangular and depressed, in the male 

 much shortei*, and at the apex broader than in the 

 female.
