Gexus CCCCXLTX— Dinc.EA, Fahricius. 



Aniennw short, bent, a little thickened towards the apex. Paljri unequal ; 

 itiaxillary witli tiie terminal joint securiform ; luhial with the last joint 

 tliickened and obtuse : head small, rounded, deflexed : eyes lunate : ihoi-ax 

 rather longer than broad : body oblong, convex, not broader than the thorax: 

 legs moderate; penultimate joint of all the tarsi bilobed. 



From the slight memorandum I made respecting this genus long 

 since, I am enabled to give only the above meagre notice thereof. 

 It seems to differ from the other allied genera of the family by 

 having the thorax rather longer than broad, and by the antennae 

 being somewhat incrassate at the apex.

Fuscous ; head and thorax immaculate : elytra smooth, pale testaceous, varied

A single example of this insect is in the collection at the British 

 Museum, captured, I believe, near Windsor.

truncate, terminal subovate, with a process at the apex giving the appear-

Referred to by MacLeay, in the " Horae Entomologicae," as British, in mistake 

 for the preceding species.
