ARRAPHYTARSA, n. gen. 
Clypeus nearly similar to that of Allokotarsa; antenne also 
10-jointed with the third joint shorter than the fourth and fifth, 
sixth and seventh short, compressed, club of male tri-jointed, slightly 
shorter than the pedicel; body of Allokotarsa, abdomen also com- 
. pressed laterally; the male, however, differs from Allokotarsa in the 
shape of the anterior tarsi which are fused together and compressed 
into a lamina straight outwardly, but dentate inwardly at the suture 
of the joints which is not quite obliterated, the ultimate joint is 
longer than the two preceding taken together, the outer claw 
is deeply cleft, the inner tooth being broader than the outer, the 
inner claw is long, slender, and cleft at the tip; anterior tibie 
bi-dentate outwardly, but with a slight angular projection above the 
basal tooth. 
ARRAPHYTARSA DAMARINA, Nl. Spec.

clypeus hollowed in front, constricted laterally in the anterior part, 
anterior margin slightly sinuate with the median part strongly 
acuminate, the outer angles are distinct, but not projecting, the post- 
median keel runs parallel with the frontal suture, and the gene are 
strongly developed, the head is covered with closely set punctures 
larger than those covering the clypeal part; prothorax moderately 
convex, and much rounded laterally, nearly straight there in the 
posterior part, covered with somewhat deep, equi-distant punctures,
