ARCHZOGLENES, gen. nov. 
Body glabrous, moderately transversely convex, sub- 
cylindric. Headimmersed nearly to the eyes, without lateral 
prominences ; the margins, however, are a little thickened 
and form an obtuse curve across the forehead. Labrum 
subquadrate. Mandtbles bifid at apex. Mazillary palpi 
short, with broadly oval terminal joints. Hyes free, convex, 
rather large, with coarse facets. Antenne very short, 10- 
articulate, inserted below the edge of the forehead; club 
abruptly biarticulate. Thorax broader than long, with simple 
lateral margins; base and apex subtruncate, the anterior 
angles obtuse and but little projecting, the posterior rectan- 
gular. Scutellum short. lytra slightly broader than the 
thorax at the base, closely applied thereto. Legs moderately 
elongate; front femora grooved underneath, the grooves with 
carinate edges; t¢bie laterally compressed, straight, minutely 
spinose at the extremity, their outer angles not rounded off. 
Zarst narrow, their first joint only slightly longer than the 
second, fourth not longer than the preceding three; claws 
small but thick. 
Underside along the middle on a rather higher plane than the 
sides. Head large, the portion in front of the antennal insertion 
very short; the subocular furrows broad, directed outwards be- 
hind. Prosternwm rather short, almost truncate in front, the 
upper and outer portions (thoracic anterior angles) obtusely pro- 
longed, smooth, and deeply excavate. In repose the antenna 
extends backwards along the innersideof the eye, it is then bent 
outwards, and the club fits into the cavity under the anterior 
angle of the thorax. ront coxw moderately distant, the 
intervening process with obtusely raised side borders; the 
posterior are not more widely separated than the intermediate. 
Mesosternum not abbreviated. Metasternum simple, rather 
shorter than the abdomen. Spdpleure broad, with sharply 
defined edges; they are not narrowed until they reach the 
apex, even there they are not linear. Abdomen composed of 
five nearly equal segments, considerably narrowed posteriorly, 
the last two sutures broad and deep; the suture between the 
two basal segments, owing to the coarse rugose sculpture, is 
ill-defined.
