ft. The head resembles much the head of procurator, Schfs.; 

 the vertex is much raised, trapezoidal and a little transverse, very 

 abruptly emarginate in front, this truncature being ciliate, more 

 especially on the sides and bearing in the middle two small brushes 

 of whitish hairs, the anterior part is much lower, excavated, 

 smooth and shining; in the middle <\f this excavation is a trans- 

 verse and a little convex elevation, the extreme edge of the front 

 is narrow, raised, rugose, and above each antenna there is a rugose 

 tubercle with a small brush of hairs; the antenna? are long, joints 

 3-5 nearly three times and 6 only twice as long as broad, 7 about 

 as long as broad, 10 trapezoidal and very little transverse. 



£. Vertex a little convex, in front of the eyes on each side is 

 a large but shallow fovea, the frontal part square, rather deeplv 

 sulcate. The antenna? are shorter, joints 4 and 5 not more than 

 twice as long as broad, 6 only a little longer than broad, 7 square, 

 8 a little transverse, 9 hardly longer than broad, and 10th 

 decidedly transverse.
