differing in the absence of erect bairs or setae. Tbe lateral 

 tubercles of the thorax are exactly median, and not at all 

 directed rearward but rather forward, and the thorax is narrowed 

 near the base. The genus has very little in common with 

 Briopea (Pascoe), although the species on which it is founded 

 resembles somewhat in markings D. cmtina.

Callapcecus, nov. gen. 



Subfam. Acanthoderinee pertinet, antennarum scapo pyriformi. 

 Pro hac subfamilia parvus ; oblougus sat convexus. Frons lata 

 et brevis. Oculi grosse granulati. Antennae graciles, corpore 

 duplo longiores, subtus parcissime setosge, articulis 3-4 elongatis, 

 cseteribus brevioribus tenuibus, gradatim decrescentibus. Thorax 

 transversus, tuberculis lateralibus validis acutis, alteris duabus 

 dorsalibus. Elytra basi thoracis duplo latiora, apice rotundata, 

 carinis centro-basalibus perparum elevatis. Pro- et mesosterna 

 sat lata arcuata. Pemora abrupte clavata.

 facie resemblance or close affinity to Acanthoderes.
