The  front  is  large  and  vertical,  the  support  of  the  labrum
coriaceous,  the  eyes  coarsely  granulated,  divided,  the  antennse
shorter  than  the  body ;  scape  stouter,  and  less  elongated,  with-
out cicatrix,  the  3d  and  4th  joints  equal,  longer  than  the  others.
The  prothorax  is  cylindrical,  convex,  constricted  at  base;  elytra
cylindrical,  each  with  an  oval  elevation  near  the  scutellum,  which
is  much  weaker  in  small  specimens,  humeri  square.     The  body


CEBAMBTCIDAS.  319

is  densely  punetared,  brown  or  blacki»h,  with  the  scutellum,  a
narrow  oblique  band  composed  of  two  spots  about  the  middle,
and  a  wider  transverse  one  behind  the  middle  not  extending  to
the  suture,  of  white  pubescence.
The  relations  of  this  and  the  preceding  tribe  with. the  Ana-
glvptus  group  of  Clytini  are  quite  obvious.
Tribe  VI.— JHOBTOHAMliniVI.
We  have  given  to  this  tribe  a  greater  extension  than  that  pro-
posed by  Lacordaire,  who  restricted  it  to  those  genera  in  which
the  scape  of  the  autennte  has  a  large  cicatrix,  limited  by  a  raised
line.  The  relations  between  Ptychodes  and  Dorcaschema  are  so
obvious  that  they  cannot  be  naturally  separated.  The  tribe  as
thus  enlarged  may  be  defined  as  follows  : —

Front  large,  vertical,  quadrate,  flat ;  geme  long ;  support  of
labrum  largo,  coriaceous;  mandibles  flat;  palpi  slender,  filiform,
pointed;  eyes  somewhat  finely  granulated,  emarginate,  lower  lobe
variable  in  form.  Antennae  longer  than  the  body,  very  long  in
the  %,  except  in  Goes  and  Cacoplia,  scape  rather  stout,  with  a
terminal  cicatrix,  except  in  Dorcaschema.  Prothorax  with  or
without  a  lateral  spine,  elytra  narrowed  behind,  or  cylindrical,
wings  perfect.
