 Elytra breviuscula, cpnvexa, vel paulo depressa, ovata, basi tri-

 Pedes elongati, pilis erectis instructi, intermedii minores ; femora

The members of this genus have much the appearance of Cne- 

 margus chamceleon ; they have a long claw-joint, and are probably 

 numerous, as Mr. Wallace's collection contains about twenty spe- 

 cies. The tufts on the prothorax and elytra consist of short erect 

 scales much darker than those elsewhere ; and the punctures on 

 aamo parts have mostly a scale at the bottom of each.
