and somewhat longer than the infraocular portion of the gense, when 

 viewed from the dorsum the eyes are seen to be very slightly prominent; 

 antennae about as long as the head and pronotum together, heavy, 

 distinctly depressed, very slightly expanded proximad and with a 

 very slight expanded distal clavation. Pronotum 

 about half again as long as the dorsal surface of the 

 head ; cephalic margin subtruncate with an extremely 

 slight median emargination, caudal margin sub- 

 rectangulate, apex finely angulate; median carina 

 low, distinct, severed three times; lateral shoulders 

 distinct on the metazona, rounded and descending 

 ventro-cephalad on the prozona; lateral lobes about 

 as deep on their greatest dorsal length, ventral 

 margin rotundato-emarginate cephalad, arcuate cau- 

 dad. Tegmina exceeding .the tips of the caudal 

 femora by about the length of the head; greatest 

 width at about three-fourths the length from the 

 proximal extremity and contained about four and a 

 half times in the tegminal length: costal margin with 

 a very considerable rounded lobe, distad of which 

 the margin is straight to the point of greatest width 

 and arcuate thence to the apex, sutural margin
