Description . — Dull black; third antennal segment yellow; a])ical angles 
and more or less of jiosterior margins of connexival segments dull reildish 
yellow. 
Head as long as broad, slightly longer than i)ronotum (24 to 22); tylus 
moderate, sides jiarallel, slightly enlarged toward apex; inpiressions of ver- 
tex broad, shallow, nearly jiarallel; ])reocular and ]X)stocular tubercles ab-

elevated, ajiex variably rounded; a low rounded e'evation in basal half,
