To the description here cited it is necessary to add that the 

 anterior angles of the episteme are (as in iS. harpaloides) pro- 

 duced , dentiform and separated from the middle part of the 

 front edge by a small eniargination. The antero-marginal sul- 

 culus of the thorax is entirely obliterated as in the restricted 

 genus Stenolophus generally: in Anoplogenius it is always entire 

 and sharply incised and in many species followed by a shallower 

 transverse line. The hind angles of the thorax are not constant, 

 distinctly angular in the type specimens, in others they are very 

 obtuse. The palpi are sharply acuminated,
