AMPIilONTHE, n. gen. 



Gen. Folijf^chisis (Serv.) affinis; differt anteunis ^ valdc elong- 

 atis, 11 articulatis. Corpus elongatum postice vix angnstatum, 

 supra planatum. Mandibula3 modicas elongata?. Epistomate a 

 fronte sutura arcuata diviso. Palpi longitudine suba;quales, 

 niaxillarum lobo baud elougato. Thorax latus, transversus, 

 tuberciilo laterali antice ciu'vato. Scutellum lanceolatiim. 

 Elytra apice truncata. Prostermim jjrocessu marginato, apice ver-

 5 ventralibus, quinto lato apice triincato. Antenna? $ corpore 

 fere duplo longiores, velutin^e, opac^, scapo gradatim clavato 

 simplici: articulo 4to quam 3io vel 5to paulo breviori; 3-11

A remarkable genus, allied to PohjscMsis in the form of the 

 maxilla^ and paljii, the arched suture separating the epislome 

 from the forehead and the hairy hind tibiae. In the antenna' it 

 is totally different ; the length of these organs and the style of 

 coloration, tjivintr tlie insect the facies of Callichroma.
