 verse, abruptly decumbent : podeon very short : abdomen oval, a 

 little shorter than the thorax ; metapodeon smooth, shining, occupying 

 nearly one half of the dorsum ; octoon and the following segments 

 dull, pubescent ; octoon not half the length of the metapodeon ; en- 

 naton much shorter than the octoon ; decaton shorter than the en-
