ALMEIDA. 301 



more concavely emarginate base of same ; antenos with the first 

 joint about or almost reaching apex of head, second joint not 

 longer than third. From Cardiastethus, Fieb. (in which the 

 type was included by Poppius) it similarly differs in the shape of 

 the pronotum, the lateral margins of which are entirely different, 

 as may be seen by a reference to Fieber's figure (Wien. Ent 

 Mon. iv, pi. vi, fig. E, 1860), and also by the much narrower 

 anterior margin of the pronotum, a character which allies it to 

 Lijyomanus.
