Tribe XIV. This tribe is composed of a sintrle f^enus Jj(Pmof(treuii, of which one species occuis in our Southern Stales. It is easily known by the exposed pygidiuni; llie larije, prominent and distant fnmt oo,xiu, and the breast not channeled. The side iiieces of th(? niesothorax are very transverse, and in- tervene somewhat between the prolborax and elytra; the epistenia of the metathonix are wide, and the epiniera are visible behind. The ventral su- tures are stniiuht; first and second setrmenls ecpial, lonj;er than the third and fourth. The lej;s are stout and short, iuul the tiliia' art' strongly iiooked at tij); tlie tarsi are dilated, and the last jointis very slender, with two very small, simple claws. The beak is short, stout and cylindrical; the antennal jjjrooves extend to the lower margin of the (.'yes, which are oval and transverse. The antennic are inserted about the middle, and are scarcely geniculaled; the funicle consists of seven joint and merges gradually into the oval, aniuiliited, pubescent club. There is nothing jjcctdiar in the mouth; the gular jiedun- clc is long, the tncntum small, and Hit; palpi short and small; the mandi- bles are curved, and of the usual form. The allinities of this tribe seem to be in the direction of Barini. LJEMOSACCUS Sch. 1. L. plagiatus Saj', Cure. 0; ed. Lee. i, 2
