Senerically separated. They unite the characters of several 
Generic groups, so that their position is somewhat doubtful, 
although probably among the Pisine. The deflection e 
rostrum is quite characteristic, but this feature 1s muc 
= developed in one species than in the other. The eyes 
are short, and do not reach the tip of the post-orbital spine.
