Basale oblong in form, about two and a half times longer than wide; base 

 rather strongly rounded; continuous with the apicale dorsally but showing an 

 articular membrane laterally and ventralh^ in the latter position the articular 

 lines are oblique; sides inflexed, median area membranous beneath. 



Apicale elongate; sides converging moderately; apex qiiite deeply cleft; 

 bottom of cleft narrowly rounded, lobes punctate laterally, punctures setigerous, 

 setae bristling, sides inflexed and not strongly chitinous, contiguous in basal 

 half, separated apically by the edeagus, which is sublinguiform as in the 

 Eleodiini. 



Female genitalia: Genital segment quadrate. Valves divisable into dorsal, 

 ventral and lateral plates. Lateral plates quite strongly chitinized, terminating 

 posteriorly in a more strongly chitinized apex which is narrowly romided at tip; 

 dorso-laterally is a small fossa from which arises a pencil of rather long and 

 slender setae; dorsal surface flattened and concave; body of plate with a num- 

 ber of moderately coarse setigerous punctures. 



Dorsal plates much less chitinized; medial margin arcuate, not contiguous on 

 median line; surface densely and quite coarsely punctate, punctures bearing 

 rather soft and more or less reclining setae. 



Ventral plates contiguous at base, medial margin arcuate; plates narrowed 

 from base to apex, surface densely and quite coarsely punctate on about basal 

 three-fifths; punctures all setiguous, setae soft and more or less reclining. 

 Dorsal plates reaching to about opposite the cercopodous fossae.
