I have described ihe: characters of ‘thia sed (above) in dis- 
<ussing its generic position fully, and need not repeat them here. 
Ido not think my example is abraded. Its upper surface is 
thinly clothed with rather long adpressed fine whitish hairs which 
are slightly condensed into two very indistinct fascie on the 
elytra, in front of and behind the middle. On the undersurface 
the pubescence is more even and slightly closer...

The insect for which I propose this name is evidently a member 
of Lacordaire's “ Groupe” “ Tropiderides,” and in his tabulation 
of the genera it evidently stands with Apatenia, Hoc which its 
long antenne having their tenth joint transverse and very much 
shorter than the ninth, inter alia, distinguish it.
