Caput parvum, antice quadratum, tuberibiis antenniferis tnodice 



distantibus. Ocw/imediocres, profunde emarginati. Aiitennce 



graciles, corpore longiores; scapo subtenuato, cylindrico; 



articulo tertio longiore ; caeteris brevioribus, ultimis obsolete 



articulatis. Protlwrax latitudine longitudini fere aequalis, 



antice angustior, lateribus rotundatus. Elijtrn oblonga, sub- 



depressa, humeris baud productis. Pedes subbreves, antici 



longiores ; protibic^ subrectae ; tibice intermediae integrae ; 



tarsi breves, dilatati, antici valde transversi. Mesosternum 



antice prodiictum. 



This is one of those isolated genera, of which so many occur 



among the Longicornia, The head is much smaller than is usual 



in this sub-family, and is in a line at the sides with the prothorax, 



while, from the narrow elytra and receding shoulders, there is not 



that disproportion at the junction between them and the prothorax 



which we find in the otiier members of this group. In these 



respects it approaches the Apomecynince, but the elongate scape 



and longer anterior legs, especially in the males, point rather to 



a location in the present sub- family.

Black, somewhat glossy, moderately punctured; a pure white line, 

 composed of closely set hiiirs, commencing behind the eye, is con- 

 tinued over the prothorax and elytra at the sides to the middle of 

 the latter, where it curves inwards and joins its fellow at the 

 suture; behind this, but not quite at the apex, a crescent-shaped 

 line, from which at the suture a finer line is continued to the apex ; 

 rest of the prothorax and elytra nearly glabrous ; body beneath 

 dark, shining, with a thin greyish pile ; legs and antennae black. 

 Length 5 — 3\ lines.
