REVISION OF COELIDIINAE 17 



aedeagus asymmetrical, long, tube-like, slightly curved in lateral aspect; gonopore subterminal; 

 style long with lateral projection about middle in dorsal aspect, expanded apically; connective 

 Y-shaped with short stem; plates appressed ventrally to pygofer, very narrow at apical half. 

 Female seventh sternum with posterior margin produced slightly at middle. 



This genus can be distinguished from Chilelana by having a tube-like assym- 

 metrical aedeagus and by the pronotum with lateral carina in line with the costal 

 margin of the elytra. Its known distribution extends from southern U.S.A. to 

 Bermuda and eastern Mexico.
