ctus, basi bisinuatus, lobis ocularibus disfcinctis. Elytra basi 

 protliorace latiora, lateribus subparallelis, supra planata, mar- 

 gine posthumerali emarginata. Pedes mediocres ; femora va- 

 lida, sublinearia, subtus dentata ; tibice breviusculie, compressae, 

 apice oblique unguiculatse ; tarsi breves, art. 1° 2*'que augustis, 

 tertio bilobo, quarto et unguicuHs tenuibus, his liberis. Meta- 

 sternum modiceelongatum. Abdomen Begvaento secundo duobus 

 scquontibus paulo breviore. Episternum mctathoracis margiue 

 superiore valde arcuatum. 



Remarkable for the form of its metathoracic episterna and the 

 corresponding outline of the outer margin of the elytra, the flat- 

 ness of the latter on their upper surface, and the comparative 

 proximity of the antennje to the base of the rostrum. It comes 

 into M. Lacordairo's " groupe Cryptorhyncliidea vrais;" but it is 

 im])ossible at present to approximate it to any known genus. 

 The only species is of a fulvous colour, sometimes mixed with 

 white, and variegated with black spots more or less connected in 

 different individuals.
