Allied to Isacantha, Hope, but essentially differentiated by the 

 size of tlie rostrum, the absence of scrobes, and the characters of 

 the prothorax and elytra. Modifications in the relative length 

 and size of the joints of the antenna) do not appear to be of 

 generic value in this subfamily ; otherwise the thickness of the 

 basal joint might be cited as another diagnostic character. The 

 general cfl'cct of the light-coloured scales on the black derm ia 

 to give this remarkable insect a smoky appearance. I am in- 

 debted to M. Odevt'ahu for my specimens.
