N'ewman's original assignment of it to Thanasimns is nearest 

 the trutli. From that geniis it differs in the structure of the 

 antennae, from Clews in that of its tarsi which have four joints 

 only visible ahove in the anterior and middle pairs {Chrvs 

 shewing 5.) From both, however, it diverges in the form and 

 sculpture of the thorax, and in most minor details. 



Clerus, [(Teofli'roy], Fab. 



Type C. icJineumoneus, Fab. 



It is clear that if we follow Fab., Spinola, and I.acordaire in 

 adopting this name for the present genus, it must be on the 

 hypothesis that it had to Geoffroy a family signification, and 

 that he would probably have placed any insect belonging to the 

 group under the term ; any how, as he did not indicate a type 

 there can be no reason why the first of his three species shoidd 

 be taken rather than either of the others. 



I have seen no s])ecies from other })arts of the world 

 than America, which can properly be referred to this genus. It 

 is, broadly speaking, peculiar to Tro]ncal America, the species 

 from the United States are abnormal.
