Head moderate, front short, nearly perpendicular, frontal suture oblique- each side, deep; eyes coarsely granulated, deeply emarginate, upper part less narrow than usual ; mandibles small, curved acute; palpi not very unequal, last joint triangular obliquely truncate. Antenna (male) a little longer than the body, punctured, finely pubescent, hispid with numerous long, erect flying hairs, thicker at the base, gradually attenuated externally, not sulcate nor carinated, 3d joint a little longer than the 4th, the latter and following ones nearly equal, 11th very feebly appendiculate. Prothorax rounded on the sides, constricted at the basal margin, without dorsal callosities. Elytra parallel, rounded at tip. Front coxal cavities round, not at all angulated externally ; open behind, presternum very narrow between the coxse ; middle coxae rather widely separated, scarcely angulated externally, rneso- sternura subtriangular, emarginate behind ; metathorax emarginate behind, episterna narrow, scent pores not distinct ; ventral segments equal, 1st a little longer, 5th rounded at tip, 6th not visible.

<i>Perothops</i> Genus of beetles

Perothops is a genus of false click beetles in the family Eucnemidae containing 3 species. They are known as beech-tree beetles or perothopid beetles. They are small as they are only 10–18 millimeters long. It is the only genus in the monotypic subfamily Perothopinae. They are dark-colored beetles that are found across the United States, generally in forests. The genus was discovered by Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz in 1836. It used to be considered a family not part of Eucnemidae. The genus's name is from Greek, translating to "maimed/crippled eye" or "eye of little necklaces/bands", referring to the placement of perothopid eyes.
