  The 
  immense 
  development 
  of 
  the 
  palpi 
  of 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  this 
  genus, 
  

  

  together 
  with 
  its 
  exposed 
  head 
  and 
  branched 
  antennae, 
  give 
  it 
  quite 
  

  

  a 
  peculiar 
  character. 
  1 
  have, 
  however, 
  seen 
  but 
  a 
  single 
  specimen, 
  

  

  evidently 
  a 
  male 
  ; 
  and 
  can, 
  therefore, 
  only 
  conjecture 
  that 
  the 
  

  

  female 
  will 
  possess 
  simple 
  palpi 
  and 
  antennae, 
  in 
  which 
  case 
  it 
  will 
  

  

  bear 
  considerable 
  resemblance 
  to 
  the 
  group 
  of 
  Telephoridce 
  named 
  

  

  Silts. 
  It 
  appears 
  also 
  to 
  possess 
  a 
  certain 
  relation 
  to 
  Amydetes 
  

  

  in 
  the 
  texture 
  of 
  the 
  elytra, 
  and

  raised
