Cephalothorax. — Chocolate-brown, furnished with a few 

 rather long and scattered fine hairs. Pars cephalica arched, 

 anterior angle truncated, slightly depressed at rear of ocular 

 area, thence very gradually rising towards its highest point, 

 which is about two-thirds its length ; from the summit the 

 slope is sudden and almost piecipitate to thoracic fovea ; sides 

 declivous ; the normal grooves are very broad, and each is 

 broken by two deep, elongate pits, which latter are separated 

 from each other by a broad, strongly-arched ridge or bar; 

 clypeus almost white, deep, broad, sloping, lower angle sinuate, 

 and furnished at the middle with a tuft of short, pale hairs. 

 Pars fhoracica broad, arched, clotlied with a few short, scat- 

 tered hairs ; radial grooves broad, distinct, somewhat broken, 

 thereby giving the surface an uneven appearance as though 

 impressed with deep and shallow pits ; fhiiraclc fovea very deep, 

 broad, somewhat sinuous in outline, slightlj- — but distinctly — 

 procurved ; nmrijival hand narrow, sinuous, and sparingly
