3. IsoPHYA KRAUssi, Brunnor.

 pronotum, shorter elytra, and narrower subgenital plate, which is 

 triangularly excised. Length of body, 20mm. J and 5 ; of pronotum,. 

 4mm. ^ , 5mm. $ ; of posterior femora, 16mm. ^ , 17"5mm. 2 ; of

Genus V : Odontura, Rambur. 

 This genus is characterised by the very long feet ; the anterior 

 femora in the J are twice as long, and in the female, one and a half 

 times as long, as the pronotum ; characteristic also are the comparatively 

 thick antennte, the short pronotum, which leaves the elytra free in 

 both sexes, the distinctly flattened end of the abdomen, and the 

 ovipositor, which is but little compressed, sharp, and armed with strong 

 crenulations at the apex.
