Tlie tborax is broader and anteriorly mucb more angulated, 

 and the antetinal joints less produced at tbeir apex (not spini- 

 ferous) than in any described species of Ohelidonium; but the 

 species fits better in this genus than in any other of the Callichro- 

 minse group. The middle femora, as in the typical species, are 

 short and strongly clavate.
