Pii'antillus, n. gen. 



Gen. Colpodi affinis a quo ditfert inter alia maxillit; intus acute 

 bidentatse. Facies Anchomeni, elytris latins oblongo-ovatis apice 

 rotundatis integris. Caput graciliter ovatmn : antennae filiformes 

 articulis 1-3 glabris 3-11.™° fere jEqualibus : mandibulnc valde 

 elongatso et acuta? subrecta? : maxilkic elongatiP et angustissima? 

 intus sparsim ciliatae versus apicem acute bidentata? : palpi 

 elongati, graciles apice truncati : mentum dente elongate acuto, 

 lobis acutis longitudine aequali. Labrum et epistema utrinque 

 seta unica, capite utrinque setis duabus longissimis. Thorax cor- 

 datus , punctis setiferis nullis. Elytra utrinque thorace duplo 

 latiora, subquadrato-ovata apice nullo modo sinuata. Pedes gra- 

 ciles sed mediocriter elongati, breviter tenuiter setosi vel pilosi ; 

 tibiae longitudinaliter striata? : tarsi filiformes haud sulcati , ar- 

 ticulo 4.'° anguste cordato (angulis rotundatis). Metasterni epi- 

 stema sat elongata postice valde angustata. 



In the form and armature of the maxilLT this genus resembles 

 Cyphocoleus (Chaud.), from which it ditters in the entire apices 

 of the elytra and other characters , and Onycholabis (Bates) from 

 which it again differs inter alia in the gla])rous 3.'''' antennal 

 joint. In the longitudinally striated tibiae it approaches the 

 genus Glyptolenus (Bates) to some species of wliich it has some 

 resemblance in general form.
