Glenea is a genus of longicorn beetles found in Eurasia and Africa.

Characters (from Thomson 1860): "Corpus parallelum, elongatum, apud ♀ minus angustatum. Caput paulum elongatum et retractum; frons inter oculos longitudinaliter canaliculata. Antennae distantes, haud longitudine corporis apud ♂, breviores apud ♀, paulum obsolete articulatae, 11-articulatae, art. 1º vix elongato, sat robusto, 3º sequente multum longior, caeteris gradatum decrescentibus. Palpi robusti. Prothorax elongatus, parallelus, lateraliter inermis. Scutellum subtriangulare, elongatum. Elytra elongata, parallela, prothorace basi latiora, humeris productis, subacutis, deinde gradatim decrescentibus, lateraliter subito decliva, apice vel oblique bitruncata, et 4-spinosa, vel lunata, rarissime rotundata. Pedes mediocres, postici paulum elongati; acetabula antica integra, extus angulata; femora haud clavata; tarsi breves, robusti, intermediorum art. 1º anteriorum ipso articulo longiore, et posteriorum ipso articulo breviore; unguiculi integri."
Translated with the help of Google Translate (all errors my own):
Body parallel-sided, elongate, female less narrow. Head somewhate elongate and retracted; frons with longitudinal grooves between eyes. Antennae wide apart, no longer than body in male, shorter in female, segments somewhat obsolete, 11-segmented, first segment hardly elongate, moderately robust, third segment much longer than following, the rest gradually decreasing. Palps robust. Prothorax elongate, parallel-sided, laterally unarmed. Scutellum subtriangular, elongate. Elytra elongate, parallel-sided, wider at base than prothorax, shoulders produced, subacute, gradually narrowing posteriad, laterally sharply downcurved, apex obliquely bitruncate and 4-spined, or crescent-shaped, very rarely rounded. Legs moderate, hind legs slightly more elongate; coxae entire, outwardly angular; femora not clavate; tarsus short, stout, first segment of middle tarsus longer than that of front tarsus, shorter than that of hind tarsus; claw entire.
