Obs. —This curious genus, in the form of its antennal groove and ros¬ 
trum, the integrity of its eyes, and the elongation of its body, must be 
placed near the Phlceotragi of Schonherr, but it has so many peculiar cha¬ 
racters combined with the curvature of its thorax, head and rostrum, that 
I cannot introduce it into any other of the already known genera.
