This singular insect is closely allied to Acinopus of Ziegler, in 
which it accords in its most essential characters. I know of no 
species however with the elytra smooth; the posterior thighs also 
are more incrassated than in Acinopus, it will therefore probably 
in future be formed into a subgenus.
