The <^enus Hehct^cei's, so well re])resented in Austvaliaj gives 

 its name to the subtaniily wliich ineludcs, among otliers, 

 Phyxium^ Tctnulut, Prohatodes^ itc. ; but to none of them 

 does the one before us seem very nearly allied. The short 

 scape scarcely reaching to the prothorax, the linear femora, 

 and tlie vertical edge of the anterior portion of the raeso- 

 sternum, form together a very trenchant diagnosis of the 

 genus. The female is larger and broader, with somewhat 

 shorter antenna?. I am indebted for my specimens to ^Vrthur 

 Adams, Esq., Staff-Surgeon, II. N. The name was suggested 

 {in lit.) by M. James Thomson.
