A single specimen represents this species, not so well preserved as tin- 

 others. The head is larue. the part in front of iln- e\ es exceptional! 

 well produced, ami \\ith a liroad rounded apex; first joint of antenme niod- 

 erateh slender, eipial, a little shorter than the head; the second joint excep- 

 tionally long, being almost or ipiite three times us long as the first, -lender. 

 and ecpial throughout ; third joint half as lor ind Tin-rax less than 



twice as broad at apex as at base, anteriorly truncate, posteriorlx geiitlx an-1 



regularly convex, the sides oblique and straight, the surface smooth, \\ if limit 



punctures, more or less mottled and intiiM-ated, as is also the sciitellum. 

 which, however, is more uniformly infiisrated or inlnmate, and has a sharp, 

 apical angle. HeineKtra m-arlv pallid, bill with the clavus im>r> 

 i'bsciire. and the outer ape\ of curium and ciineu- each \\ith a small,
