 Psstg. org. with short peduncles and globular head. Abd. a little longer 

 than broad, truncated anteriorly, rounded posteriorly. Dors, of Abd. strongly

 rounded posteriorly. An elliptical depression with bordering ridge and reti- 

 culated centre occupies centre of Dors, of Abd.; 3 converging conical 

 elevations, point forward, spring from inner post, edge of ridge. In front
