 file), posterior margin sinuately emarginate (in profile). Antennte 

 inserted almost at middle of eye (in profile). First segment of rostrum 

 reaching to about the middle of prosternum, fourth segment extending 

 beyond posterior coxae. Pronotum one-half wider than head and eyes, 

 base two and three-quarter times as wide as collar ; one-third longer 

 than length of head (profile) ; base subsinuately rounded widely ; two 

 small sharply marked rounded tuberculate callosities ; lateral margins
