HANCOCK 75 



carina distinct, viewed in profile moderately elevated above 

 the eyes and a little convex; the median carina not projecting; 

 front border obtuse angulate, strongly advanced beyond the 

 front margin of the eyes; between the eyes on either side of 

 the median carina of vertex anteriorly a little longitudinally 

 fossulate, rather flat posteriorly, lateral margins sinuate; the 

 frontal carinae of vertex horizontal, viewed from above later- 

 ally angularly curved and compressed at the antero-inner 

 border of the eyes, here in front between the little lateral 

 carinae the vertex broadened; crown of head at occiput cov- 

 ered nearly to the eyes. Frontal costa viewed in profile moder- 

 ately sinuate between the eyes, viewed in front sulcate, the 

 rami subparallel, scarcely more divergent at the median ocellus. 

 Pronotum anteriorly truncate, posteriorly acute, sides nearly 

 straight; apical process abbreviated, extended barely as far or 

 considerably passing the posterior femora; dorsum between 

 the shoulders broad, transversely sharply tectiform; humeral 

 angles carinate, obtuse angulate; median carina of pronotum 

 distinctly elevated, percurrent viewed in profile near the 

 antero-dorsal margin a little more compressed horizontal or a 

 little concave posteriorly; lateral lobes posteriorly bisinuate, 

 the superior lateral sinus moderately shallow; the inferior 

 sinus rather widely angulate, the median lobule between the 

 two with obtuse angulate margin. Elytra elongate, apex 

 rounded; wings equaling or slightly passing the pronotal 

 process. Femoral margins entire; middle femora scarcely com- 

 pressed; posterior femora moderately narrowed posteriorly 

 towards the apex, the first article of the posterior tarsi 

 strongly longer than the last two together, the pulvilli straight 

 below, the first pulvilli quite small, the second about twice 

 as long as the first, the third as long as the first two together.
