The antennae fig. 1 are geniculate as are all the others of this genus; in the $ they are more slender than in dama or any other of our American species: the joints' are proportioned as in the figure, and the sixth joint shows no trace of dilatation; the joints except the terminal three are entirely glabrous, minutely punctulate, and set with a few sparse hair: the 7th joint is produced inwardly, forming the first of the pectinations; the 8th and 9th are longer, glabrous at the outer side but the inner side brown opaque, densely clothed with fine hair: the terminal joint is en- tirely opaque and densely pubescent: the form of the joints is better shown by Mr. Smith's excellent figure, (Fig. 1) than any description of mine can do, 2, dama, Fabr.
