Atmodes. 

 Atmodes, J. Thomson, Arch. Entom. i. 301. 

 Caput antice transversum, vertice elevato, tuberibus antenni- 

 feris brevibus, basi baud approximatis. Oculi profunde 

 divisi. Antennce corpori subsequales, setaceae; scapo ob- 

 longo-ovato; articulo tertio longiori ; cseteris decrescentibus, 

 obsolete articulatis. Prothorax irregularis, capite latior, ad 

 latera antice dentatus, basi bisinuatus. Elytra prothorace 

 paulo latiora, humeris rotundatis, lateribus apicem versus 

 panic angustiora. Pedes breves, aequales. Pro- et mesO' 

 sterna elevata, producta, vel dentata. Corpus subdepressum. 



Atmodes is better known, perhaps, under its old name of Milo- 

 thris, Dej., which M. Thomson has changed in consequence of its 

 having been previously used for a genus of Lepidoptera. The 

 genus is related to Mycerinus and Apnmecyna, but may be distin- 

 guislied (^'mter alia) by its irregular and toothed prothorax, and 

 its strongly elevated and produced sterna. The type is a well 

 known and very common insect, whose synonymy has latterly 

 been strangely complicated.*
