EONIUS, gen. nov. 
Subapterous. Head much wider than pronotum, occiput 
elevated, vertex rounded. Fastigium broad, apical part keeled. 
Antenne twice longer (more or less) than the body. Pronotum 
smooth, shining ; anterior angles rounded ; hindmargin slightly 
concave. Elytra and wings very rudimentary. Fore and middle 
tibiz below with three pairs of large spinelets, and one or two 
pairs 6f smaller apical spinelets. Hind femora below spinulose. 
Hind tibiz above flat, and usually armed with four spinelets. 
Ovipositor slender straight, apex straight above, acuminate from 
below, acute. 
The genus appears to be allied partly to Veanius, and partly 
to Apotrechus, but differs from the former in the very large head, 
broad fastigium, and long straight ovipositor, and from the latter 
in having rudimentary elytra, the pronotum wider behind, the 
hind tibiz flat above, and the ovipositor being longer than the 
body. Its place in the system is indicated by the following 
synopsis :— 
5. Elytra rudimentary, lobelike. Fore tibiz with four pairs 
of spines. 
6. Size small. Occiput slightly elevated. Lobes angular. 
Antenne long. Hind femora with numerous spines.
