It is most probable that on comparison with the types, all 
these species will be found to have been described in this Catalogue, 
under a different name, and that several of them will prove to 
be synonymous. 
MICROCAMENTA, Brensk., 
Stett. Ent. Zeit., 1898, p. 346. 
Facies and buceal organs of Ablabera and Camenta; antenne 
10-jointed, the club 7-jointed in the male, 6-jointed in the female: 
clypeus deeply emarginate laterally with the anterior part strongly 
reflexed and with a median, transverse, more or less raised suture, 
and a plain clypeal one, gene strongly developed, oblique; the claws 
have a plain, small curved tooth underneath instead of being finely 
cleft. 
The characters distinguishing this genus from some species of 
Ablabera are the presence of two parallel arcuate keels or sutures 
on the clypeus, and the strong development of the gene. 
Key to the Species.
