three-jointed ; metasternal process short, grooved, not extending 

 beyond the intermediate coxae. 



The exposed spiracles of the basal segment of the abdomen 

 locates this singular genus in the Tessaratominse ; it cannot well 

 be located in the Eusthenaria, and must form the type of a new 

 division.
