short, are clearly developed ; from the base of the inner cell a 

 nerve curves to the posterior margin. Sternum ; Prosterimm with 

 3 parallel, longitudinal furrows ; Mesosternum with a deep, oblique 

 channel to the anterior angles, the middle anteriorly with a short 

 keel; Metasternum pyriform, convex in front, and prolonged into a 

 keel. Legs strong, short ; thirjlis uneven ; tarsi long, slender, 3rd 

 pair longest ; 1st joint very short, 2nd ^ the length of the 3rd ; 

 claws very long, curved. 



Abdomen much broader than the pronotura, long oval, broadly 

 rounded behind, very concave above, convex beneath ; Connexivum 

 moderate, vertical. In the (^ above, the posterior margin of all the 

 abdominal segments (except the last) is straight, in the Gth it is 

 broadly rounded and almost reflexed ; on the underside, the posterior 

 margin of the 5th is angularly cut out, the Gth is short in the 

 middle, longer at the sides, and its posterior margin closely sur- 

 rounds the single, large, oval, convex, genital segment, which projects 

 far beyond it. In the ? above, the posterior margin of all the abdo- 

 minal segments (except the last) is straight, in the Gth it is widely 

 concave ; on the underside the posterior margin of the 5th very 

 deeply concave ; the Gth is very long, its posterior margin somewhat 

 squarely cut out. Genital segments ; in the ^ as stated above ; in 

 the $ above, 2 are visible, the 1st anteriorly filling the concave 

 posterior margin of the last abdominal segment, posteriorly it is 

 broadly rounded, the margin foliaceous and projecting ; the 2nd 

 segment triangular, deflected vertically, is scarcely seen from above ; 

 on the underside 2 segments are visible, the 1st in the form of 2 

 broad angulated plates united at their apices, leaving, in the middle, 

 a small triangle, which is filled by the 2nd of the segments.
