Erebaces. 



Rostrum tenue, apice paulo dilatation, dimidio apicali nudum, 

 nitidum ; scrobes median®, laterales. Scapus oculuin haud at- 

 tingens ; funiculus 7-arti.ciilatus, art. duobus basalibus lon- 

 giusculis, primo breviore ; clam breviter ovata, adnata. Oculi 

 majusculi, tenuiter granulati. Protliorax apice paulo productus, 

 supra subplanus, lateraliter compressus, lobis ocularibus an- 

 gustis. Elytra prothorace arete applicata, supra planata, pos- 

 tice declivia, pone humeros angulato-producta. Pedes elongati ; 

 femora linearia ; tibia rectse, sequilatae ; tarsi subelongati, art. 

 tertiolate bilobo. Pima pectoralis inter coxas intermedias pro- 

 tensa, apice aperta. Epistema metathoracis angusta, distincta. 

 Abdomen segmento secundo breviusculo, duobus sequentibus 

 conjunctim vix sequali ; sutura prima recta. 

 The two species composing this genus are quite distiuct in 

 habit, owing to the peculiar shape of the elytra, from any other 

 Trag opus -form, although, iu some respects, a little like Hexymus, 

 but differing in their finely facetted eyes and pectoral canal open 

 at the apex.
