Mr. H. W. Bates on Ceramhycidce 
constrictuSj supra Isevis. Elytra oblongo-quadrata, pos- 
tice rotundato-dilatata, apice late obtuse rotundata, prope 
suturam leviter truncata^ supra grosse reticulata. Pedes 
breves_, valid! ; femora clavata^ prope apicem subtus valide 
spinosa; tarsi breves^ articulo Imo breviter cordato. 
Prosternum apice acute tuberculatum. Mesosternum 
latum_, paulo concavum. Acetabula antica extus angulata; 
coxge antic83 baud exsertae. Acetabula intermedia extus 
paululum aperta. 
The structure of the prothorax^ with its sharp constric- 
tion near the fore and hind margins^ similar to Phimosia 
and Trachelia, joined to other minor characters^ seem to 
indicate the place of this anomalous genus to be in the 
present sub-family^ rather than in the Trachyderincej 
where I formerly was inclined to place it^ or in the 
Tropidosomatince, where Lacordaire has preferred to 
leave it.
