Barisses. 



Rostrum breve, validum ; aerobes obliquae, infra rostrum cito dcsi- 

 nentes. OcuU majusculi, rotuiidati, fortiter granulati. An- 

 tennce medianse ; funiculus septemarticulatus. Frothorax trans- 

 versus, lobis ocularibus promiimlis. Scutelltim majusculum. 

 Elytra breviuscula, convexa. Ehna pectoralis inter coxas inter- 

 medias terminata, apice elevata. Abdomen segmentis tribus 

 intermediis a?qualibus, sutura prima recta. Femora sublinearia, 

 subtus sulcata et dente armata ; tibicB compressao, extus recte 

 carinatjB, apice mucronatse ; ungues liberi. 



The short rostrum, round eyes, large scutellum, sulcated 

 femora, and tibise with a straight carina or shortly-produced 

 ridge along the outer margin, are characters whicli will at 

 once distinguish this genus from Pseudoinus, to which, how- 

 ever, it cannot be considered a very close ally.

 mostly coalescing punctures, the intervals forming narrow,

 convex, deeply striate-punctate, the interstices glossy and 

 somewhat rugose ; body beneath and legs glossy yellowish
