The species ol" this ii'eiius differ iViuii llic next, witli which they 

 are most closely allied, by their lari-cr, more i-ohust form and by 

 the episterna of the metathorax beiiit;' distinctly though slightly 

 wider in front and gradually narrowed behind. The femora are 

 not spinose and the spines of antenna' are never long. The males 

 have the antenn;r longer than body, tlie thorax densely and finely 

 punctured with a median channel on basal hali' and a small rounded 

 tubercle each side of midcUe. In the females the antenna^ are 

 shorter, thorax more coars(»ly ])iinctnred with a jiiediati and two
