Head half as long as broad, very broad between eyes, anteriorly

 and placed near apex of head and longly removed from base ; 

 antennae with the basal joint thickened, about as long as head, 

 second joint moderately thickened, more than twice as long as 

 first, third longer than fourth, together little more than half the 

 length of second ; pronotum about half as long as breadth at base, 

 with a narro\\' anterior collar behind which are two transverse 

 constrictions enclosing an area which is centrally carinate and 

 contains a smooth callosity on each side, very strongly narrowed 

 from base to head, the lateral margins straightly oblique ; 

 scutellum gibbous, shortly acute at upper posterior angle : corium 

 ( excluding cuneus) short, broad, about as long as head and prono-
