I was formerly content to place the only known species 

 of this genus with Xoanodera, but if I had not been 

 otherwise convinced of my error^ M. Lacordaire's more 

 stringent definition would have made it impossible to 

 retain it there. The characters of the elytra and of the 

 femora exclude it, as well as those of the antennae, sterna, 

 tarsi, &c,, and the anterior cotyloid cavities are narrowly 

 closed behind. M. Lacordaire, not having seen the 

 species, appears to think that it may belong to Bliytido- 

 dera ; and he states that there exists another nearly allied 

 from the Moluccas and Laos.

Pitchy-brown, or nearly black, shining ; from the eye 

 and along the sides of the prothorax and elytra lines of 

 yellowish-white villous spots, more or less united, but 

 leaving a broad glabrous stripe from the head to the apex 

 of the elytra ; prothorax nearly half as long again as 

 broad ; scutelliim semicircular ; elytra finely and very 

 irregularly punctured, rather narrowed posteriorly ; body 

 beneath, legs and antenna;, yellowish-brown, with a close 

 grayish-yellow pubescence. 



Length 17 lines.
