Antennas very long, remote at their origin, basal joint short, second much 

 shorter and small, six following still smaller and extremely short, the 

 remaining three forming an elongate kind of club, of which the two basal 

 joints are stoutest and of nearly equal length, the first being as long as all 

 the preceding joints taken together; the terminal johit is rather longer and 

 more slender; in the female these joints are rather shorter and stouter, the 

 first not being longer than the six foregoing. Falpi filiform ; head short, 

 transverse ; eyes large, prominent ; thor-ax transverse, dilated on the sides ; 

 scutellum rounded ; elytra elongate, angulated at the shoulders without, 

 embracing the sides of the body, and united forming a cylinder ; legs rather 

 loiig and slender, simple ; tarsi also long and slender.

 specimen of this insect in the Devil's Ditch near Newmarket in June 1833.

Pitchy-blacky with fine hairs, thorax fulvous, convex and tuberculate in front ; 

 antennae and legs yellowish ; elytra punctate-striate. 



Some doubt exists as to the propriety of considering this an indigenous
