Diflfers from /. globifera chiefly by the more depressed form 
of the elytra, and the absenee of basal elevation vi^ith globular 
tubercles. It may readily be recognized also by the eye-like 
spot on the disk of each elytron, consisting of a rounded, black, 
slightly impressed spot, surmounted by a white speck. The 
antennse are much more elongated, and the projecting angles of 
the antenniferous tubercles in well-developed males are very 
large and acute, and are directed horizontally. The base of the 
elytron has a few minute granulations with punctures, and the 
rest of the surface is sprinkled with rounded, dark-brown, 
slightly impressed spots, as in J. globifera. 
Ega; not uncommon. 
Genus Hesycha (Dj. Cat.), Thomson, 
Thomson, Archiv. Entom. i. 187 (1857). 
Fairmaire, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (1859), p. 523. 
This genus was first characterized, in few words, by M. Thom- 
son in 1857 ; but the description subsequently published by 
M. Fairmaire defined more accurately its points of distinction. 
It agrees with Hypselomus in having the first joint of the an- 
tennse abruptly clavate, and the third joint curved ; the curva- 
ture, however, is much less pronounced than in Hypselomus j 
and is sometimes very slight. Its other distinguishing charac- 
ters are (1) the elongate, parallelogram mical, and depressed 
form of body, (2) the more elongated claw-joint of the tarsi, 
and (3) the wide separation of the antennse at their origin.
