The characters which separate this genus from Golsinda are 

 principally the comparatively short and obconical scape, the sim- 

 ple mesosternum, the toothed prothorax and the irregular elytra. 

 Olivier, who has described and represented one of the species(Tom. 

 iv. No. 67, pi. XX, fig. 151) under the name of Cerambyx annula- 

 tus, says, however (p. 95), " tliorace mutico ;" but although small, 

 there is undoubtedly a tooth on each side, besides the tooth-like 

 tubercles on the disc, and in another species found in Laos and in 

 Pulo Penang, it is far more strongly developed, especially (and this 

 is very remarkable) in the female. I'he males in this genus, be- 

 sides the much greater length of the antennae, have a very pro- 

 minent lamina at the tip of the seventh joint, this is rounded at 

 the end and its sharp margins fringed with short hairs; there is 

 a tendency to the same structure in the sixth as well as in the 

 fifth joint, but in the latter it is less evident, and traces of these
