 fovarea widest a little below the middle of the fovea, not angulated, 

 its widest part : ocellocular line :: 2.5 : 17, face shiny, delicately 

 reticulated and sparsely punctured, its punctures not well defined 

 and from two to four puncture widths apart, clypeus distinctly 

 elevated above the apical margin, convex, polished and dullish reticu- 

 late, punctured as sparsely as the face but the punctures larger and 

 more distinct, clypearea wanting, clypeus thinly hairy, its sculpture 

 not obscured by the pubescence, labrarea truncate, width at base :

 of the labrarea, black except for the apical half which is blackish 

 except for a reddish tinge, palpi nearly typical; thorax covered with 

 an abundance of pale hairs which are tawny on the dorsulum where 

 they are shorter than the whitish hairs on the mesopleurse, dorsulum 

 dullish, reticulated and punctured, the punctures apparently better 

 defined and closer together than the punctures of the face, notauli 

 represented by a shiny line, mesopleurse distinctly reticulated and 

 punctured somewhat like the face but the punctures larger, with 

 whitish hairs, except along the upper margin where the hairs are 

 tawny as on the dorsulum, scutel hairy and sculptured much like the

 that the sculpture is denser, tegulae dark brownish stramineous,

 discoidal vein, legs blackish brown except for the claws which are 

 more or less brownish stramineous, legs covered with whitish and 

 brownish hairs, scopa typical, its hairs of a whitish hue, and concolor-
