Semelima, 



(Menemacliinaj.) 



nostrum basi cylindricum ; fimiciihis articulis 3.-7. moniliformibus. 

 Elytra basi reflexo-marginata, ad protlioraeem arete applicata, 

 Immeria earentia. Abdomen sogmontia duobus basal ibua con- 

 jiinctia ; sutura prima obaolota. Femora dciito iouuato iiiatructa. 

 Cceteris ut iu Acicnemide. 



The union of the two basal segments of the abdomen, and the 

 obliteration of their suture are among the charactera wliich di- 

 Btinguish the " Mcncmachides vraia" from the "Acicncmides," 

 the two "f/roupes^^ into which Lacordaire has divided the subfamily; 

 but, on the other hand, the presence of ocular lobes, and other 

 characters appear to me show that this genus has a gi'eater affi- 

 nity to Aoicnemis, hitherto the only one of the "^ groupeJ"
