Prothorax slightly convex above, rounded at the sides, base with rounded lobe in the middle. Elytra long, more or less narrowed backwards from the base, rounded at the apex. Legs long, the front pair shorter than the others ; femora f usiform-clavate, compressed, pedunculate at base ; tibiae compressed. Front cox^e separated, their acetabula strongly angulate outwards. Mesosternum moderately broad, narrowed posteriorly and truncate at the end. The pupae of one species at least, and probably of all the species, of this genus are enclosed in calcareous cocoons of a texture similar but somewhat longer and narrower in form than those which enclose the pupse in the genus Ploccderus. 99.
