The insect for whieh I propuse this generic name cannot be 
the tabulation would make it Hypseus (though its eyes are 
scarcely “ very finely" granulate)—but Hypseus has very different 
antenne, and eyes converging on the forehead. If the forward 
mi of the carina be regarded as too slight to place the insect in 
doubtfally an Apatenia,—but that genus has eyes and antenne

club of its antenna, joint 9 evidently belonging to the funiculus 
and being not much longer and wi than the eighth joint.

This inseet is easily recognisable by the presence, on either side 
of the middle line of the pronotum, of a large tubercle bearing a 
Feen, of hairs. There is a smaller fasciculated tubercle near 
th and another about the middle of the 3rd elytral in- 
tantis, and also another near the apex of the 5th interstiee. 
There are also very small fascicles (beneath which the derm is 
scarcely tuberculate) on the alternate interstices, most con- 
Spicuous on the subsutural interstice and becoming gradually less
