 (singulis circa 7), aliis minoribus granulisque dispersis, apice rotunda-

A Callinoto differt clava ant ennarum a funiculo distincta; protho- 

 race lobis ocularibus nullis ; et tibiis anticis baud unguiculatis. 



To these characters it may be added that the second abdominal 

 segment is separated from the first by a strongly arched suture, 

 and the intercoxal process is broader and more truncate than in 

 Callinotus. The femora are sharply toothed beneath. The type 

 is a small insect resembling Callinotus Zetterstecltii, Bob., and is 

 one of the many discoveries of Mr. Bates.
