 subdepressum ; scrobes antemediana3 subrostrum directse, 

 oculos attingentes ; funiculus 7-articulatus; oculi subfortiter 

 granulati; prothorax transversus, quam elytra haud multo

In M. Lacordaire's classification this genus falls into the Group 

 Elleschides and is very near Elleschus from which inter alia its 

 strongly divaricate claws distinguish it. Its dentate femora 

 inter alia distinguish it from Orichora and Ochrophcebe.

Perhaps congeneric with Elleschus orbitalis, Schonnh., which 

 its author places in Elleschus with some hesitation, but differing 

 from the description of that species inter alia by the absence of 

 white pilosity on the orbits of the eyes and on the sterna.

 Esq., who is publishing (in Linn. Soc. N.S.W.) a paper on the 

 economic value of this species. 



LONGICORNES. 



NENENIA. 



The following two species may I think be confidently referred 

 to Nenenia with which they seem to agree in all generic 

 characters.
