Subcylindricus, nigro-fuscus, tomento oehraeeo-fusco submacu- 

 latim vestitus, elytris erecte pilosis, antennis et tarsis fulyo- 

 testaceis, scapo obscuriori ; capite iuter antennas concavo ; 

 thorace cylindrico, punctato, dorso pauUo inseqiiali, tuberculo 

 laterali mediano parvo acuto ; elytris iinearibus, apice rotundatis 

 sat confertim pnnctulatis. Long. 5 millim.

Agrees with Mupo^onms in every respect, except the more elon- 

 gate antennae, which are one third longer than the body, and the 

 joints of which, from the fifth to the eleventh, are rather long and 

 slender instead of being much abbreviated. The proportions of 

 the joints and the form of the scape, however, are the same. The 

 form of head and eyes is the same ; the middle tibiae simple, the 

 anterior and middle acetabula open. 



Teeing A, n. gen. 



Gren. Evpogonio subsimilis, sed tibiis intermediis extus con- 

 spicue sinuatis, thoracis spina parva laterali acuta. Corpus sub- 

 iineare, sparsim adpresso-pubescens et erecte pilosum. Caput 

 exsertum, inter antennas planum ; tubera antennifeia perparum 

 elevata ; frons convexa brevissima ; oculi grosse granulati, 

 magni, lobis inferioribus latis convexis. Antennee filiformes 

 robustae, infra ciliatge, corpore multo longiores ; scapo oblougo- 

 conico, articulis 3-11 longitudine sequalibus nee scapo longioribus. 

 Thorax breviter cylindricus, medio latior, spina postmediaua 

 parva acuta. Elytra subcylindrica, apice obtuse rotuudata. Pro- 

 et mesosterna inter coxas subplana, illo sat lato ; acetabula antica 

 extus hiantia, intermedia aperta. Pedes breves, femora gradatim 

 incrassata ; tibiae intermediae extus medio sat profunde sinuatae 

 nee longe hirsutae ; tarsi omnes breves, unguibus divaricatis. 



Pits by its structural characters none of the numerous 

 "groupes" of Lacordaire's classification; but is evidently closely 

 allied to the Apodasyides, in which it may be placed if we admit 

 exceptions to the character of simple middle tibiae distinctive of 

 that group.
