This genus differs from Cydmeva iante^ vol. ix. p. 137) in its 

 scape impinging on the eye, in the absence of ocular lobes, 

 and in the approximation of the intermediate coxa?. The two 

 species here described are somewhat remarkable for the large 

 size of the elytra ; of the first there is a small variety with more 

 mottled elytra.
