 The type of the present genus, which was described by Marshani as a 

 Lytta, and which is the only species in the genus, departs considerably 

 from the appearance of the Anthici, especially in the shape of the head 

 and thorax and the simple thighs, although its principal characters will 

 bring it near those insects. The smallness of the second and third joints 

 of the antennae appears to be a striking character.

This species is undoubtedly the Lytta Boleti of Marsham: my friend 

 Mr. Stephens having allowed me to compare it with the identical specimen 

 described by that author, with which it perfectly agrees. This exami- 

 nation enables me to correct his description of the colour of the head, 

 which he states to be black. The head of the insect is, however, dark 

 ferruginous brown, with large black eyes. It does not appear to be no- 

 ticed by the continental writers, since Marsham's reference to the Xotoxus
