Type, Tf. carnosd, Weslw. 



In describing this genus, founded on the type of Westwood's 

 caruosa contained in the British Museum, and a soujewhat 

 antique s] eeinien, T could not see any carinations to the 

 iiiesonotum, nor could the artist who drew the figure. ISince 

 then I have been able to examine specimens in better con- 

 dition, and the raesonotum must be described as triearinate, 

 even if in some examples faintly so. Ihe male anal armature 

 is a very pruminent character.
