deficiens n. sp. 

 The scutellum is confined to the depressed part of the elytral 

 base, forming part of the peduncle as in Batulwdes, but here, 

 instead of being evenly triangular with straight sides, it is 

 produced toward tip, with the sides of the narrow produced part 

 parallel and nearly straight and the apex rounded
