There are two types of insects which I think shoidd be 

 associated in this genus, some which like the type have the body 

 and elytra of a steel blue colour elegantly spotted and marked 

 with spots of ashy or white scales, while the others are of an 

 uniform testaceous hue, or spotted with that colour, the elytra 

 and parts of the body more or less thickly clothed with scales. 



It is one of the must peculiar genera among the Cterlda' ; 

 while its 5 -jointed tarsi bring it into close connection with the 

 Tillides, the finely granulated eyes, widely separated antenniB 

 with a simple 3-jointed club composed of joints closely applied 

 to each other, and sometimes truncate elytra are characters not 

 hitherto recorded in that section. The species which I conceive 

 to belong to the genus as yet known to me are : 



Sec. 1. Elytra blue with spots or lines of scales.
