slightly longer than the fourth ; the seventh joint longer than those preceding it, longer 
than broad; the four terminal joints forming a very elongate, loosely articulated club, 
becoming a little broader outwardly; the eighth and ninth joints each about as long as 
broad ; the terminal joint longer than broad. Head broad, very shining, with only a 
few long fine hairs. Thorax robust, widest slightly in front of the middle, almost even, 
with an obsolete transverse impression in front of the base; very shining, with only a
