rostrum, leaving a tolerably broad front to the head above them ; 

 they are nearly contiguous in the first two species, less so in P. 

 cyanoptera, and still further apart in P. pedestris.

The eyes are absolutely in contact in this species ; it has also a 

 narrower antennal club, P.nd is not so broad and massive as the 

 preceding. 



Panigena cyanoptera. P. nitide nigra, elytris cyaneis; rostro 

 prothorace parum longiore, cylindrico, apice vix latiore ; antennis 

 fulvo-testaceis ; funiculo articulis duobus basalibus longitudine sequa- 

 libus ; clava elongato- ovata ; oculis baud contiguis ; prothorace 

 magis transverso, impunctato ; scutello scutiformi ; elytris sat tenuiter 

 seriatim remote punctatis ; corpore infra pedibusque piceis ; tarsis 

 subfulvis. Long. H lin.

There is an interval between the eyes equal to about a quarter 

 part the diameter of one of them. In this and the last species 

 the rostrum is nearly cylindrical, only a little flattened, without 

 being dilated, at the apex. 



Panigena pedestris. P. nitide C3'anea; capite castaneo, disperse 

 punctato; rostro valido, prothorace breviore, rufo-piceo; antennis 

 fulvis ; funiculo articulo secundo quam primo longiore ; clava pallida, 

 ovato-acuminata ; oculis hand contiguis ; prothoraee subtilissime 

 sparsim punctulato ; scutello nigro ; elytris seriatim tenuiter remote 

 punctatis ; corpore infra nigro ; metasterno late excavato ; pedibus 

 rufo-piceis. Long, li lin.
