 angusta, postice acuta. 



The only specimen I have seen of this remarkable genus 

 was taken by Capt. Lang, R.E., but is, unfortunately, with- 

 out tarsi, except one of the intermediate, and even this is 

 without the claw-joint. Of the three aberrant forms of Ce- 

 rambycidcB it is most allied to Dynamostinai ; but its conical 

 anterior coxai with their acetabula open behind will effectually 

 prevent its union with that group : it must therefore be con- 

 sidered to represent a distinct subfamily. I am ignorant of 

 the sex of my specimen ; there are no wings, and the elytra 

 are connate. It has very much the appearance of a Dorcadion^ 

 or at least one of that group.

The type of this genus is Mcdlodon jejunum ; and it is now 

 separated generically in accordance with Lacordaire's opinion 

 that it is a distinct form allied to Eurynassa (Gen. viii. Ill, 

 note). The characters attached to the tibiffi seem to me of 

 comparatively little importance, seeing that they are scarcely 

 to be distinguished from those of Eurynassa Odewalinn ] but 

 the sculpture of tlie abdomen is one of the primary characters 

 employed in the differentiation of the genera recently separated 

 from Mallodoy}.
