than one of the eyes, on each side fossulate, and provided late- 
rally with a rounded compressed carinula; middle subcarinate 
forward barely subproduced ; face broad, in profile little oblique ; 
eyes viewed from above little prominent, but viewed from the side 
moderately small; paired ocelli placed between the middle of the 
eyes; antennae inserted between the lower part of the eyes, or 
barely lower; frontal costa widely sulcate between the paired 
ocelli, the rami subparallel, in profile scarcely elevated between 
the antennae ; apical articles of palpi narrow. Pronotum above 
plain, subcylindrical forward, anteriorly truncate, posteriorly long 
acuminate, the apex acute subspinate: humeral angles wanting, 
the dorsum forward roundly sloping at the sides ; prozonal cari- 
nae behind the anterior margin obsolete; posterior angles of the 
lateral lobes of the pronotum laminate-expanded, with the inferior 
margin before the angle, or the angle produced in an acute spine, 
curvate forward. Elytra elongate, apices rounded; wings fully 
explicate and reaching to the pronotal apex ; anterior and middle 
femora elongate, margins entire, minutely serrulate. Blades of 
the female ovipositor rather short and straight, not at all curvate 
at the apices, hirsute, but not at all dentate, the upper blade
