  This 
  genus 
  is 
  a 
  close 
  ally 
  to 
  Mallodon, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  differs 
  in 
  

   the 
  respective 
  lengths 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  third 
  joints 
  of 
  the 
  antennae, 
  

   the 
  short, 
  stout 
  and 
  flattened 
  femora 
  and 
  tibise, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  

   the 
  thorax 
  being 
  free 
  from 
  serratures 
  or 
  roughness.

  and 
  the

  long 
  and

  Eijes 
  very 
  

   large 
  and 
  prominent, 
  especially 
  in 
  the 
  males, 
  broadly 
  reniform, 
  

   surrounding 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  antennae. 
  Antenncs 
  in

  in 
  the

  about 
  half 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  body; 
  11- 
  

   jointed 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  $ 
  with 
  the 
  first 
  joint 
  short, 
  robust, 
  second 
  very 
  

   minute, 
  third 
  and 
  following 
  joints 
  subequal 
  ; 
  the

  joint 
  

   longest 
  and 
  pointed 
  ; 
  in

  the 
  third 
  joint 
  the 
  longest. 
  Thorax 
  

   subcylindrical, 
  in

  than 
  the 
  head, 
  with 
  the 
  sides 
  and 
  

   disk 
  without 
  elevations. 
  Elytra 
  much 
  broader 
  than 
  the 
  thorax, 
  

   with 
  the 
  shoulders 
  prominent, 
  gradually 
  tapering 
  towards 
  the 
  

   apex, 
  and 
  terminating

  This 
  genus 
  should 
  be 
  placed 
  somewhere 
  near 
  Erioderus, 
  and 
  not 
  

   far 
  from 
  Tragosoma, 
  which 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  its 
  nearest 
  allies. 
  From 
  

   the 
  former, 
  which 
  it 
  most 
  resembles, 
  it 
  differs 
  very 
  essentially 
  in 
  

   the 
  joints 
  of 
  the 
  antennae 
  — 
  the 
  third 
  joint 
  in 
  Erioderus 
  being 
  very 
  

   long 
  — 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  general 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  insect.
