Head moderately large, convex, not concealed; ocular fovea 

 small, narrow. Eyes slightly produced in front, finely faceted, 

 distant. Rostrum long, slightly curved; in $ widening to apex 

 and laterally barbed, in 9 subparallel, smooth and shining. 

 Ante mice moderately long; scape in ^ inserted one-third from 

 apex of rostrum, in 9 two-fifths ; two basal joints of funicle 

 elongate, 7th obconic, longer than 5th-6th combined, subadnate 

 to and appearing to form part of club; club ovate, the length of 

 two preceding joints. Protliorax large, convex, sides rounded, 

 apex produced and somewhat depressed, base bisinuate; constric- 

 tion feeble; ocular lobes prominent. Scutellum small, distinct. 

 Elytra not twice the length of prothorax; in ^ narrower, in 9 

 the same width as prothorax, in ^ decreasing from base to apex, 

 in 9 subparallel to near apex. Pectoral canal moderately deep, 

 terminated between intermediate coxse. Mesosternal receptacle 

 strongly raised, emargination slightly transverse, slightly cavern- 

 ous. Metasternum about half the length of basal abdominal 

 segment, episterna narrow and wedge-shaped, the anterior portion 

 almost concealed. Abdomen regularly sloping from base to apex, 

 sutures very distinct; 1st segment large, almost as long as 2nd- 

 5th combined, 2nd-4th subequal and each slightly shorter than 

 5th. Leys long and slender; anterior femora feebly ridged
