Antennoe stout, basal joint long and thickened, cylindric, second small and 

 robust, third slender, obconic, seven following short, transverse, gradually 

 thickening, the terminal one ovate-obtuse. Ma^iWarj palpi with the penul- 

 timate joint elongate, subcylindric, the terminal short, acuminate, very 

 minute ; body oblong ; head orbiculate, rather wider than the thoi^ax, the 

 latter with the base and apex of equal width, the sides rounded; elytra

 tarsi with the joints equal.

AntenniE short, moniliform, basal joint large, subclavate, second rather shorter^ 

 globose, eight following gradually increasing in size, and thickening towards 

 the apex, subglobose, terminal joint longer and ovate. Maxillary palpi 

 with the pennltimate joint conic, the terminal minute acicular ; body linear^ 

 very flat; thorax rather narrower than the elytra, with the base and apex 

 subtruncate, and the sides rounded; legs rather short; tarsi with the 

 terminal joint equal in length to all the others united. 



These are the characters assigned by Mannerheim (p. 73) to the type of his 

 genus, Ho. plana ; Mr. Curtis, having confused those of the allied genera 

 most strangely, in what he gives as Mannerheim's characters, from errone- 

 ously making a literal translation of his tables.
