longitudinal carination, lateral margins convexly narrowed to apex 

 which is subangulate ; pronotum a little more coarsely punctate 

 than vertex and with a fine central longitudinal compressed line, 

 the lateral margins nearly straight ; scutelhim finely punctate, 

 \nth an angulated transverse line before apex, beyond this line 

 the apical area is a little transversely wrinkled; face narrow, 

 gradually [^broadening posteriorly from area of antennjB where it is

 identified by the long and apically broadly or transversely rounded

Uniformly pale ochraceous or virescent ; vertex of head about
