 This is one of the most anomalous Longicorns I have seen. It 

 will not fit into any of M. Lacordaire's " Groupe's " satisfactorily 

 but I think it is best regarded as an aberrant Callidiopsid. It 

 is certainly a ^^Ceramhycid vrai" (according to Lacordaire's 

 classification) and its strongly granulav^ed eyes place it in the 

 first "section" of that aggregate. The epimera of its meso- 

 sternum not nearly reaching the intermediate coxae, its very 

 short head widely transverse and as broad as the prothorax, non- 

 spinose antennse, non carinate tibise, the even surface of its 

 elytra, and its very inconspicuous antenniferous tubercles refer 

 it, without any hesitation, in the tabulation of that aggregate, to 

 the groupe Callidiopsides ; but the form of its front coxae is very 

 different from the form of those organs in any previously 

 described Callidiopsid known to me. It is true that Lacordaire 

 mentions a tendency to abnormal prominence of the front coxfe 

 in Diatomocephala, &c., which he nevertheless places in the 

 "groupe" in question, but in the present insect the coxae are 

 much more prominent than in Diatomocephala and moreover are 

 contiguous.
