anteriorly subtruncate, distinctly angularly notched a little before 

 eyes, thence obliquely directed to apex ; eyes oblique, interiorly 

 moderately emarginate, backwardly projecting over the lateral 

 margins of the pronotum ; antenna? mutilated in typical specimen ; 

 rostrum short, robust, reaching or very slightly passing the anterior 

 cox ; proiiotum a little longer than head, the anterior margin 

 truncate, the posterior margin distinctly convex, the lateral 

 margins broadly augulate near the humeral angles ; mesonotum 

 somewhat concavely depressed, longer than broad, widened towards 

 middle, thence obliquely narrowed towards abdomen, the lateral

margins slightly but distinctly reflexed, the posterior margin 

 centrally inwardly emarginate; abdomen composed of six segments, 

 a little broadened from the apex of third segment, the lateral 

 margins distinctly reflexed ; anterior femora moderately slender, 

 about as long as the tibia?, intermediate and posterior femora 

 subequal in length, intermediate tibise considerably longer than 

 posterior tibise. 



This genus is founded on an apterous specimen ; it is allied to 

 Tamo*, from which it differs by the structure of the head and 

 thorax ; the absence of the antenna? is much to be regretted, but 

 the insertion of the species in this enumeration is imperative and 

 uiay promote the collection of other specimens.
