Like ElasmorMnus, Lac., in its depressed rostrum, wbich is even 

 more remarkable than in tbat genus on account of its breadth, and 

 the longitudinal middle portion is so attenuated as to be almost 

 diaphanous. In other respects it differs from ElasmorMnus, of 

 which I have a second species, in its free claws. I am not quite 

 certain of the habitat of the only example I have seen of this spe- 

 cies ; unfortunately its antennae are incomplete.
