The antenne of the insect on which I found this genus having 
only ten joints and its comparatively long and slender tarsi 
render it easy to identify. JI think it is clearly allied to 
Lycoperdina but as I have seen only one example I have not been 
able to investigate one or two characters that its place in Dr. 
Chapuis’ tabulation depends upon; e¢g., I cannot satisfy myself 
as to whether its prosternum projects slightly or not at all clear 
of the front coxe.
