Fam. SAGRIDAL. 
Genus Dusou.ala, n. g. 
Corpus subelongatum, modice convexum, non metalli- 
cum, pube griseo adpresso dense vestitum ; caput exertum, 
modice elongatum ; oculis integris, granulosis, vix pro- 
minulis ; palpis mawillaribus articulo ultimo ovato, apice 
obtuso; mento transverso; ligula apice bifida; antennis 
corporis dimidio fere equalibus, filiformibus. Thorax 
subcordiformis, latitudine non longior, angulis anticis 
indistinctis ; elytra oblonga, convexa, glabra, irregulariter 
punctata ; pedes robusti ; femoribus posticis incrassatis, 
subtus spima compressa trigonata armatis; wnguiculis 
simplicibus; prosternum coxis equialtum, postice non 
prolongatum ; pygidium elytris non obtectum. 
This genus must take an intermediate place between 
Megamerus and Prionesthis, with the former it agrees in 
the form of the thorax, and in the emarginate ligula, but 
differs in the shorter head and antenne, less prominent 
eyes, and in the form of the apical joints of the maxillary 
palpi; from the latter, although agreeing in the form of 
the maxillary palpi, it differs greatly, both in the form of 
‘the thorax, and also in having the hinder thighs armed 
beneath.
