  black 
  hair; 
  its 
  base 
  with 
  a 
  long, 
  oblique 
  slope. 
  The 
  pro- 
  

   pleurae 
  and 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  mesopleurae 
  smooth; 
  

   the 
  lower 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  with 
  large, 
  widely 
  separated,

  punctures.

  and, 
  to 
  a 
  less 
  

   extent, 
  in 
  front 
  and 
  the 
  four 
  anterior 
  tibiae 
  behind,

  The 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  abdomen 
  is 
  unfortunately 
  broken 
  off, 
  

   but 
  the 
  characters 
  which 
  remain 
  are 
  sufficiently 
  distinct 
  

   from 
  anything 
  described 
  to 
  warrant 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  the 
  

   species. 
  The 
  four 
  apical 
  joints 
  of 
  the 
  antennae 
  are 
  

   compressed.
