 all about equal ; all M. E. nearer to S. E. than to each other ; the 

 upper M. E. nearly as far apart as the lower S. E.; the two S. E. 

 and one upper M. E. form an equilateral triangle ; S. E. on tuber- 

 cles ; sternum truncate in front and behind; extending between 

 hind coxse ; abdomen widest behind the middle ; base slightly emar-
