I place this species in Lncosmia with considerable hesitation 
on account of its great difference in facies from the previously 
described species of the genus, compared with which it is a much 
larger and more robust insect, having a large tubercle on each 
elytron at the summit of the posterior declivity almost as in 
Rhachiodes. To a casual glance it has much the appearance of a 
Rhachiodes, but its divaricate claws, and eyes comparatively 
coarsely granulate, at once separate it from that genus. In 
structural character I can find no distinction from Zncosmia. 
I have not described in detail the arrangement of the pale reddish 
scales with which it is clothed, as I have only a single specimen 
before me, and descriptions of the scales in an Hrirhinid founded 
on anything short of a good series of specimens is generally 
misleading. The example before me has fairly closely-set whitish 
and yellowish-red scales on its underside and shoulders, but it is 
quite likely that it may be abraded and that in fresh specimens the 
scales are more generally distributed, and perhaps variable in 
pattern. The tubercles on its elytra distinguish this species 
readily from all others yet described which approach it structurally.

Very distinct from its previously described congeners by its 
very small size together with its uniform ferruginous color and 
evenly distributed whitish squamosity. The prosternum is gently 
concave in front of the coxe.
