 convex, the distance between the anterior margin of the frontal 

 costa and that of the eyes widening considerably below; face 

 below imperceptibly continued without being sinuate and quite 

 declined; the apex strongly obtusely rounded. Viewed in 

 front, the frontal costa sulcate commencing near the apex, 

 the branches from here to the middle ocellus subparallel, and

 to the front margin; anterior lateral carina near the front 

 margin substraight and subdivergent posteriorly; humeral 

 angles strongly sloping laterally, viewed in front obtuse, 

 between the shoulders convex, median carina clouded with
