Pseudopantomorus

Head very broad, short, together with the eyes as wide as the widest part of the prothorax; eyes very prominent, convex, strictly lateral; rostrum short, subquadrate, narrowing a little towards the apex, the scrobes narrow, deep, sinuous, descending to slightly below the eyes; prothorax transverse, truncate at the base; scutellum minute or invisible; elytra oval, truncate at the base, the humeri distinct; ventral segment 2 about as long as 3 and 4 united; legs short, stout; femora unarmed, the anterior pair subangulate; anterior and intermediate tibiæ unguiculate, the anterior pair obsoletely denticulate; posterior tibiæ with a narrow squamose area at the tip, the glabrous articular area extending upward; tarsal claws connate at the base; body oblong, robust, densely squamose and setose, apterous.

The single species belonging to this genus may be briefly described as a small Pantomorus with a very broad head, short rostrum, prominent eyes, short, stout legs, and basally connate tarsal claws. It bears a superficial resemblance to Caulostrophus and various elongate species of Strophosomus (S. ebenista, &c.).
