The resemblance between this and the Cicindelideous 

 genus Gollyris is very striking, and the whole appearance 

 of the insect is such, that M. Lacordaire considers it one 

 of the most remarkable Longicorns known. To me it 

 seems allied to Ametrocephala and Zoedia, but our great 

 authority intercalates a very large number of genera be- 

 tween them.
