 Type of the Genus. Melolontha transversa, Fab. 



Corpus cylindricum. 



Clypeus supra reflexus subemarginatus. 



Labrum 2-lobum vel medio excavatum. 



Antennce 10-articulatae, 7 mo paterseformi. 



Palpi maxillares articulo extimo lanceolato supra 

 excavate

If Melolontha Solstitialis Fab. is considered as 

 the type of Rhisotrogus, it is evident at one glance 

 that Mel. transversa differs from it materially in 

 form, as in various other minor points. The species 

 seem peculiar to the South of Europe and Asia 

 Minor.
