obliquely upward from the root of the first genal spine to the edge of 

 the upper part of the antennal groove. In front of the roots of the 

 spines is a row of three smaller bristles. In the female along the 

 anterior margin of the antennal groove at the termination of the upper 

 three spines is a row of about four stout bristles. Along the dorsal 

 margin of the occiput on each side of the median line is a row of about 

 six bristles. Back of the base of the antenna is one bristle and there 

 are two bristles, the upper the larger, back of the third joint of the 

 antenna about its middle. Midway between the termination of the 

 antennal groove and the lower posterior angle of the occiput is a large 

 bristle and above and behind this bristle, another bristle, and in line 

 with these bristles, and alternating with them are three hairs. In the 

 posterior margin of the occiput, dorsally, is a deep notch and on the 



Head cf Male. 



borders of this notch are six bristles placed rather close together. The 

 antennal groove is short and extends nearly to the upper margin of 

 the head. The anterior and posterior margins are markedly thickened. 

 The second antennal joint is short and contains about four small hairs. 

 The club is short and nine-jointed. The distance between the anterior 

 border of the frons and the end of the antennal groove is only a little 

 gn-aler than the distance between the end of the antennal groove and 

 the posterior margin of the head, in both sexes. 



On the posterior border of the pronotum in the female is a ctenulium
