 Thomson, Classif. des Ceramb. p. 223. 



Breviter cylindricus, robustus, niger; antennis valde 

 clavatis ; thorace sphaerico, elytris latiori ; pedibus ro- 

 bustis, tibiis compressis ; elytris linea abbreviata obliqua 

 flexuosa maculaque communi triangulari flavis, triente

Hob. — Ega. Abundant on dead trees. 



Sub-fam. TiLLOMOEPHiN^. 

 Genua Epropetes, nov. gen. 



Corpus lineare, longe pilosum. Caput supra planum, 

 tubera antennifera obsoleta. Oculi reniformes. An- 

 tennas lineares, longe pilosjB; S corpore multo longi- 

 ores, articulo tertio elongate, caiteris subjequalibus ; ? 

 corpoi'e breviores, articulis 8-11 multo abbreviatis. 

 Thorax longissimus, elytris tequalis, inermis, ante basin 

 valde late constrictus, quasi pedunculatus, parte antica 

 valde convexa. Elytra curta, depressa, apice obtuse 

 rotundata. Pedes curti, longe pilosi; femora clavata; 

 tarsi breves, articulo prirao secundo et tertio conjunctis

The species on which this genus is founded was placed 

 by White in the genus Ozodcs, with which it has no near 

 affinity whatever, and scarcely any external resemblance. 

 It is evidently a member of the sub-fam. TiUomorphince, 

 aud is allied to the Australian genus Ipomorin ; differing 

 chiefly in the extreme relative length of the thonix and 

 in the length and proportions of the an tennal joints.
