third, fourth, and fifth becoming shorter and broader, the 
sixth, seventh, and eighth forming an elongate-ovate thick 
club. Anterior tibie strong, with three teeth on the outer 
edge; the basal one small, the apical one very long, and 
reaching to the apex of the second joint of the tarsus. Tarsi 
as long as the tibia; posterior femora very large, ovate, flat 
on the inner side, convex on the outer side. Posterior tibie a 
little shorter than the femur, triangular, with a strong oblique 
setiferous carina; the apex furnished on the inside with two 
strong blade-like spurs, which are rounded at the apex. In- 
termediate tarsi long, about twice as long as the tibia; poste- 
rior tarsi a little longer than the tibia. All the claws simple. 
Abdomen short; the pygidium large, with the apex nearly 
reaching to the base of the femora. 
I place this genus next to Pachypus.
