The characters of this genus are given by Fabricius under the head of Cnodulon, but the true Cnodulon of M.Latreille is a native of St.
Domingo, and a different genus of which the characters are to be found in the Genera Crustaceorum et Insectorum.

The genus has, however, been of late more accurately investigated by Dalman, in his Analecta Entomologica, and he has given it the name of Amarygmus.
