Excerpt from Journal of the New York Entomological Society, Vol. 20: Devoted to Entomology in General; 1912 Within the genus no proposed division has been generally accepted; but it is evident that two groups can be readily distinguished, the one containing the long - legged species in which the subapical margin of the elytra is Often more or less emarginate and the mandibles more or less toothed, and the short - legged species in which such modifications Of the elytra and mandibles do not occur. Other characters like the long labrum Of.longilabris, the form of the clypeus, and of the thorax, the pilosity andpunctuation of the surface serve to separate species, but the important group character seems to me now to lie in the length of the legs. In the box, to which I have already referred, of South American forms you will see some of these long - legged forms which occur also in the West Indies, in Central America, in our Southern States, and represented by a few species even north to Massachusetts and Maine.
