punctate strie (which, however, are almost hidden by the 
scales) and other characters. M. Fairmaire compares it to 
Psepholax ; but its deep pectoral canal, boanded behind by

This genus is represented by a species closely resembling 
the Mexican Memactes ruficornis, but which differs, dcnter 
alia, in not having the femora grooved beneath nor the tibie 
striated. The body is naked except a solitary scale in many 
of the punctures.
