478 Mr. F, P. Pascoe on some new or litile-hnown 



calcaratfe ; tarsi lineares, art. ult. ceteris fere aequali. Prostermmi 

 postice productum, in incisura mesosterni receptuiii. Metasternum 

 breve. Corpus laeve, ovatum, convexum. 



The form of the antennse requires this genus to be placed in M. 

 Lacordaire's third " group " of Helopinae, with Misolampus, Zopli'ms, 

 and others, to none of which does it bear any decided affinity. In 

 habit it approaches some of the more convex forms of Helops. The 

 internal maxillary lobe has a very distinct hook, a character which 

 occurs only in this subfamily in Ampliidora and Enophjpus ; in the 

 latter the profemora are also toothed. I owe my specimens to Mr. 

 Adams, but I am unable to say from part of the coast they were 

 derived.
