Closely allied to Listroptera, especially in the form of 

 the head and thorax; but difiFering, even from the 

 elongate species of that genus (e. g. L. collaris) by the 

 linear form, and abruptly rounded and truncate apex of 

 the elytra, which, besides, are destitute of the gray tomen- 

 tum and curved costse that distinguish all the Lisiropterce.
