 Caput latum, inter oculos transverse impressum ; rostrum capite 

 vix lougius, crassum, quinquesulcatum, apice plaga triangulari ; 

 scrohes subapicales, curvata?, subtus flexse, Oculi depressi, 

 infra acuminati. Antennee breves ; scapo gradatim erassiore, 

 oculum attingente ; funiculo 7-articulato ; art. duobus basa- 

 libus sequalibus, cseteris paulo brevioribus ; clava parva, ovata. 

 Prothorax transversus, utrinque rotundatus,basiapicequetrun- 

 catus. Scutellummixmtum. ^/^y^?'o ovata, convexa, prothorace 

 latiora. Pedes validi ; femora medio incrassata ; tibice rectae, 

 posticse corbellis cavernosis ; tarsi breves, dilatati, art. ult. 

 modice elongate ; unguiculo unico. Metasternum breve } epi- 

 sterna metathoracis occulta. Abdomen segmento prime ample, 

 intermediis subaequalibus. Processus iuterfemoralis late trun- 

 catus. 



The prothoracic lobe is so feeble in this genus that it may 

 almost be said to be non-existent ; other characters, however, 

 seem to ally it to the Leptopsinae. The single claw is met with 

 again in Essolithna {ante, p. 457) ; but I have not noticed any 

 other genus where the episterna of the metathorax are so com- 

 pletely hidden by the elytra. The species described below is 

 remarkable for the large irregular fove£B on the elytra, each with 

 a small round deep pore at the base.
