Erichson restricts this genus to such species as have the terminal joint of the 



maxillary palpi, minute and awl-shaped ; and the 

 Genus CNEMIDOTUS (Erichson) 

 to such as have that joint larger than the rest and conical : one species only is 



found in Britain, viz. Ha. impressus, page 39.
