forceps thickly clothed with short microscopic hairs. Head as in 

 minor, but with eye only about three-fifths length of cheek 5 . Pronotum 

 ample; lateral margins straight, parallel; caudal margin convex. Teg- 

 mina short, only a little longer than pronotum 6 ; truncate caudad. Win-js 

 projecting beyond tegmina less than half the pronotal length 7 . Scent 

 glands subobsolete. Untimate dorsal abdominal segment simple, as in 

 minor; fully three times as wide as long, caudal margin transverse. 

 Pygidium declivent; lateral margins feebly concave, subparallel; dis- 

 tal margin strongly concave, so that the latero-caudal portions of the 

 pygidium project caudad as slender, acute, conical projections. For- 

 ceps moderately heavy, triquetrous in proximal portion; dorsal sur-

face deplanate in proximal half, thence feebly convex; ventral sur- 

 face deplanate; proximad the shaft is excavate to accommodate the 

 pygidium, thence the internal face is deplanate for two-fifths the dis- 

 tance to apex, with ventral margin cingulate, feebly concave and mi- 

 croscopically closely and bluntly serrulate; beyond this point this mar- 

 gin is feebly lamellate from the juncture of the dorsal and ventral 

 surfaces and is supplied with well-spaced, microscopic serrulations. 

 Caudal margin of penultimate ventral abdominal segment transverse, 

 very feebly convex. Limbs as in minor: short; thickly supplied with 

 minute hairs; femora stout; metatarsus with ventral surface hairy, 

 with two rows of chaetiform spines. 



5 In minor the eye is only very slightly shorter than the cheek. 

 " Tn minor nearly twice as long as pronotum. 



7 In minor the wings project beyond the tegmina fully the pronotal 

 length.
