Diagnosis Baird 1865: "Bases of antennae produced from the anterior margin of the cephalic lobe ; elytra 12 pairs, not covering the middle of the back, and leaving the posterior segments of the body naked ; setae of dorsal branch of feet of two kinds ; body elongated." Baird explains that Thormora is similar to Lepidonotus but distinct because the elytra decrease in size posteriorly, and there are two types of notochaetae. These are weak distinctions, but subsequent authors have maintained the genus. [details]
