  twice 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  tibiae. 
  Areolet 
  small, 
  square, 
  

   complete 
  ; 
  receiving 
  the 
  recurrent 
  nervure 
  at 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  

   the 
  transverse 
  median 
  nervure 
  almost 
  interstitial 
  ; 
  the 
  

   third 
  discoidal 
  cellule 
  is 
  much 
  narrowed 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  ; 
  the 
  

   cubital 
  nervure 
  curved. 
  

  

  This 
  genus 
  does 
  not 
  fit 
  well 
  into 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  tribes 
  into 
  

   which 
  Thomson 
  divides 
  the 
  Cryptidce, 
  but 
  comes 
  nearest 
  

   the 
  Cryptina, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  differs 
  in 
  the 
  median 
  segment 
  

   having 
  no 
  keels 
  but 
  being 
  strongly 
  transversely 
  striated 
  all 
  

   over. 
  It 
  has 
  the 
  small 
  areolet 
  of 
  Mesostenus 
  and, 
  like 
  it, 
  

   receives 
  the 
  recurrent 
  nervure 
  in 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  the 
  transverse 
  

   basal 
  nervure 
  is 
  straight, 
  oblique, 
  and 
  is 
  almost 
  parallel 
  

   with 
  the 
  transverse 
  basal 
  for 
  the 
  most 
  part 
  : 
  the 
  costa 
  is 
  

   narrow, 
  elongate 
  ; 
  the 
  parapsidal 
  furrows 
  are 
  obsolete 
  ; 
  

   but 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  mesonotum 
  is 
  raised. 
  The 
  antennae 
  

   are 
  stouter, 
  especially 
  towards 
  the 
  apex, 
  than 
  in 
  Cryptus 
  

   or 
  Mesostenus.
