This species approaches the genus Aphjorlimnphus, Gu($r., in its 

 (slightly) prominent shoulders; but the mesosternum is not pro- 

 duced- - character, however, in this group of, I think, no generic 

 value. C olus hasalis, Boh., should be referred to it,

 ctim ochraceo squamulosus, prothorace elytrisque vitta lateral!

 Hah. Amazons.
