slightly thickened, short ; thorax very strongly transverse , the 

 angles obtuse, the surface without sulcation ; scutellum broad ; 

 elytra confusely punctured, their epipleurae very broad, conti- 

 nued to the apex; posterior femora strongly incrassate, their 

 tibiae deeply longitudinally sulcate at their lower portion, armed 

 with a robust spur ; the first joint of the posterior tarsi as long 

 as the following three joints together ; claws appendiculate ; 

 presternum narrowly elongate, mesosternum subquadrate, broader 

 than long ; the anterior coxal cavities open. 



This genus has the appearance of a species of Sphaeroderma 

 or Argoplstes from which and allied genera it differs in the 

 widely separated antennae, the distinct mesosternum and long 

 posterior first tarsal joint; from Amphimela the open coxal ca- 

 vities and irregularly punctured elytra separate it.
