membranous. Antenna? arising under the sides of clypeus 

 in front of the eye, more slender and two-thirds the 

 length of body in male, shorter and more robust in the 

 female; first joint conical, second small, third as long 

 (female) or a little longer (male) than the first, joints 

 4— II equal in length, slightly flattened, each two-thirds 

 as long as the third joint. Thorax broader than long. 

 Scutellum small, triangular. Elytra without explanate 

 margin, epipleura? terminating abruptly near the apex. 

 Prosternum not wide between the coxa?, coxal cavities 

 round not angulate externallv. Middle coxal cavities 

 slightly open externally with a feeble trochantin. In- 

 tercoxal process of abdomen acutely triangular. An- 

 terior tarsi with joints 1-4 small, together scarcely longer 

 than the fifth, middle tarsi first joint as long as next two, 

 hind tarsi first joint longer than next two and as long as 

 the fourth. Vestiture of tarsi consists of stiff hairs. Ab- 

 domen as in Doliema. 



In the above description as many details are given as 

 possible that the close relationship with Doliema may be 

 realized. The only valid difference is in the form of the 

 head, that of Doliema having the sides of the clypeus 

 prolonged anteriorly in the male and with a distinct sinua- 

 tion in the female, while in the present genus the clypeus 

 is arcuate in both sexes more obtuse at middle in the 

 male.

Form oblong, parallel, depressed, piceous or brownish, 

 feebly shining. Head finely not closely punctate. Thorax 

 a little less than twice as wide as long, slightly narrower 

 in front of the female, sides feebly arcuate, the angles 

 obtuse, base slightly arcuate with a marginal line, disc 

 freely not closel}^ punctate, a faint basal impression each 

 side of middle. Elytra very little wider than the thorax,
