As Champion remarks (supra) the chief characteristics of this 

 genus are the short backwardly-curved orifice of the metastethium 

 and the strongly pilose elytra, the outer margin of the embolium 

 appearing ciliate. Prom Lippomanus it is distinguished by the 

 longer anterior margin of the pronotum, and thus the less oblique 

 structure of same, the straighter or slightly convex, not concave 

 margins of the corium, &c.
