distinguish this genus from others : (1) the anterior coxal cavities 

 are closed behind, (2) the first segment of the posterior tarsi is 

 longer than the two following segments together, (3) the daws 

 are appendiculate. 



The general appearance of the insect is that of an Aplitliona, but 

 it is distinguished by having the elytra regularly punctate- 

 striate, and the anterior coxal cavities closed. From Aphtho- 

 noides, Jac. (1885 ; Sumatra, Japan), this genus differs in the long 

 first segment of the posterior tarsi.
