This genus contains a sparsely pubescent species from California, which lias a singular resemblance in form to Orc?;t quite reach the eyes: the first joint of the funicle is stouter and longer than the others, which are nearly equal; the club is elongate- oval, as long as the joints 2-7 f the funicle, and entirely i)ubescent and sensitive. The front coxte are nearly contiguous and the prosternum is broadly, though not deeply sulcate in front. The legs are rather long aful slender, tibite not mucronate at tip; the third joint of the tarsi broad and deeply bilobcd: claws simple, divergent. The prothorax is as long as wide, gradually narrowed in front, with sides i>erfectly straight. Elytra wider at base than the prothorax, humeri prominent, sides parallel, tips separately rounded, pygidium exposed, obliquelj* declivous; fifth ventral longer than the preceding, acutelj' rounded at tip. 1.
