  In 
  the 
  specimen 
  from 
  which 
  this 
  description 
  is 
  taken 
  the 
  ter- 
  

   minal 
  segment 
  of 
  the 
  abdomen 
  is 
  raised 
  in 
  the 
  middle, 
  and 
  termi- 
  

   nates 
  in 
  an 
  obtuse 
  point. 
  This 
  part 
  may 
  differ 
  in 
  the 
  sexes. 
  The 
  

   legs 
  are 
  moderate 
  as 
  to 
  size 
  (or 
  perhaps 
  rather 
  small); 
  the 
  femora 
  

   are 
  very 
  little 
  incrassated 
  in 
  the 
  middle, 
  and 
  unarmed 
  ; 
  the 
  tibiae 
  

   straight 
  and 
  cylindrical, 
  but 
  dilated 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  which 
  is 
  not 
  pro- 
  

   vided 
  with 
  a 
  spur 
  ; 
  the 
  anterior 
  tibiae 
  are 
  very 
  indistinctly 
  crenu- 
  

   lated 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  side.

   The 
  insect 
  upon 
  which 
  this 
  genus 
  is 
  founded 
  bears 
  much 
  re- 
  

   semblance 
  to 
  the 
  species 
  oi 
  Balaninus 
  — 
  the 
  body, 
  however, 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  

   more 
  regular 
  oval 
  form 
  ; 
  its 
  nearest 
  affinities, 
  nevertheless, 
  are 
  

   undoubtedly 
  with 
  the 
  genus 
  Prionomerus, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  

   distinguished 
  by 
  its 
  more 
  elongated 
  rostrum 
  and 
  tarsi, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  

   claws 
  being 
  deeply 
  cleft. 
  {" 
  I'he 
  antennae, 
  moreover, 
  are 
  longer, 
  

   and 
  have 
  a 
  smaller 
  club, 
  and 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  body 
  differs 
  con- 
  

   siderably.
