Genus 2. ENOPLOPS, Am. et Serv. 

 Broad, stout, oval. 



Head. Crown quadrangular, nearly horizontal, convex, with a 

 fine depressed line down the centre, the end produced at each 

 side into a stout, short lobe, which is externally furnished with a 

 short, out-curving spine ; Face very small, narrow, recurved under 

 the crown ; the central lobe inserted between the terminal lobes of 

 the crown, raised, and projecting beyond them, so that, viewed from 

 above, it appears as a deflected spine ; on its upper surface are 3 

 small tubercles. Antennae : tubercle very short, broad, inserted at 

 the end of the terminal lobes of the crown ; 1st joint very stout, 

 trigonate, long, curved outwards, base truncate, attached to the 

 tubercle by a very short petiole, produced from the outer side only; 2nd 

 joint longer than the 3rd, almost cylindrical ; 3rd joint longer than 

 the 1st, not quite so long as the 2nd, base round, the rest trigonate ; 

 4th joint fusiform, shorter, than the 1st, much thicker than the 2nd 

 and 3rd. Eyes moderate, round, inserted on the sides of the head, 

 near the base. Ocelli equally distant from the eyes and each other, 

 prominent. Rostrum strong, reaching beyond the 2nd pair of coxaB ; 

 1st and 2nd joints long ; base in a short, deep channel, of which the 

 sides are produced, rounded before and behind. 



Thorax. Pronotum hexangular, greatly deflected ; in front wider 

 than the head, anterior margin concave, the exterior angles pro- 

 duced into short spines; sides widely divergent, very sinuate, in 

 front minutely dentate, hindwardly greatly raised, and rather 

 expanded ; hinder sides long, with a deep, angular notch, near the 

 upper end, posteriorly gradually rounded into the long posterior 

 margin ; disk, in front concave, hindwardly (within the broad hinder 

 angles) convex, posteriorly with a transverse ridge longer than the 

 base of the scutellum. Scutellum horizontal, flat, short, triangular.
