Fimdir: — Agreeing with Tcrobia Foerster but the scntelhun with a distinct cross-sutnre

 shorter than the postmarginal. Both mamlibles flattened, distinctly 4-dentate. Abdomen conic- 

 ovate, keeled beneath, the second segment longest, occupying about a fifth of the surface, its 

 caudal margin with a slight notch at the meson; abdomen somewhat longer than the re.st of the 

 body. Autennaj inserted below the middle of the face but somewhat above the ventral en<ls 

 of the eyes, the first ring-joint very short. Lateral margins of propodeum carinated. but true 

 lateral carinie absent, the median carina distinct, not very long, comjilcte. Spiracle small, 

 round, central {i.e. midway between cephalic and <aud.-d uiargius, far from cejihalic margin). 

 Parapsidal furrows deep.
