  Westwood's 
  Description 
  

  

  porrectum, 
  et 
  in 
  cavitate 
  paiva 
  mesosterni 
  receptum. 
  Scu- 
  

   tellum 
  parvum, 
  fere 
  rotundatum. 
  Elytra 
  oblongo-ovalia, 
  sub- 
  

   convexa, 
  sub 
  lente 
  punctulatissima, 
  luteo-setosa, 
  spatiis 
  multis 
  

   irregularibus 
  maculiformibus 
  nudis. 
  Pedes 
  graciles, 
  satis 
  

   elongati, 
  simplices, 
  sctosi, 
  calcaribiis 
  minutis 
  2, 
  2, 
  2. 
  Tarsi 
  

   simplices, 
  articulis 
  4 
  basalibus 
  subtus 
  spongiosis 
  setosis. 
  

   Ungues 
  simplices, 
  longi 
  acuti, 
  pseudonychia 
  unica 
  setosa 
  

   instructi. 
  

   Notwithstanding 
  the 
  very 
  dissimilar 
  facies 
  of 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  this 
  

   genus 
  to 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  family 
  Elateridce, 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  the 
  pro- 
  

   sternal 
  grooves 
  for 
  the 
  reception 
  of 
  tlie 
  antennae, 
  the 
  far 
  less 
  rigid 
  

   texture 
  of 
  the 
  body, 
  and 
  the 
  comparatively 
  shorter 
  development 
  

   of 
  the 
  prosternal 
  mucro, 
  I 
  refer 
  this 
  remarkable 
  insect 
  to 
  the 
  last- 
  

   named 
  family, 
  although 
  in 
  several 
  of 
  these 
  respects 
  it 
  bears 
  a 
  

   much 
  greater 
  analogy 
  to 
  such 
  genera 
  as 
  Atopa 
  and 
  Cebrio. 
  The 
  

   style 
  of 
  colouring 
  is 
  very 
  peculiar, 
  and 
  has 
  suggested 
  the 
  specific 
  

   name.
