Pounded on a small species partaking of tbe characters of the 

 two subfamilies Dorcadionince and Lamiince. The head and 

 thorax are, relatively to the rest of the body, long, and resemble 

 much those of Dorcadida, Deucalion, and allies ; the thoracic 

 spines, though much smaller, are similar in position to those of 

 Lepromoris.
