with two more deeply impressed jjuncta near the third, com- 
mencing from the suture *. 
In the following, the thorax terminates posteriorly in a straight 
line without any central projection. 
Plochionus, Dej. 
The antennae almost granose ; last joint of the labial palpi large, 
nearly securiform; four first joints of the tarsi short, in the form of a 
reversed heai’t, the fourth bilobate f. 
Orthogoxius, Dej. 
Similar tarsi ; but the antennae are filiform, and the external palpi
