Elichora. 



Rostrum longiusculura, tenuatum. Sccqms oculum baud attingena. 

 OcuJi grosse granulati. Pedes longiusculi ; femora linearia, mu- 

 tica ; co.vce intermedife et postieoD utrinque fere contigua?. Rhna 

 pectoralis coxarum intermediarum marginem posteriorem attin- 

 gens. Cseteris ut in Idotasia. 



This genus approaches Xyclnisa in tlie extreme shortness 

 of the metasternum and the consequent approximation of the 

 intermediate and posterior coxte, but difters in the greater 

 length of the rostrum and the corresponding extension of the 

 pectoral canal. In habit it resembles Thyestetha^ but, with 

 Xycliusa^ it is more nearly allied to Idotasia. 



Elichora coniscans.

Rostrum brcviusculum, validum, arcuatum, apice deprcssum. Funi- 

 culus 7-artieulatus, articulis duobus basalibus longioribus, casteris 

 transversis, ultimo clava ovata quasi incipiente. Ocull magni, 

 an|ice subapproximantes, grosse granulati. Prothorax trans- 

 versus. Scatellnm distinctum, punctiforme. Elytra oblonga, 

 modice convexa, protborace pai'um latiora. Femora subcrassa, 

 infra canaliculata et dentata ; tihice breviusculas, subarcuata), sul- 

 catse ; tarsi normalcs. Rima pectoralis ut in Idotasia. Meta- 

 sternum modice elongatum. Processus intercoxalis angustatus. 

 Abdomen uormale. 



The narrowness of the intercoxal process, as compared with 

 Idotasia and allied genera, is a marked departure from their 

 structure in that respect. The type of this genus is nearly 

 glabrous, except that it is spotted here and there with a few
