Abdomen with the sides of the body parallel, not at all con- 

 tracted behind, but shortly truncated ; lateral sides of thorax 

 produced to an obtuse point in the middle nearer the posterior 

 angles. Thorax not very convex, but slightly rounded towards 

 disc. Head with two lateral carinae extending from the inner 

 margin of the eyes towards the cl^-peus ; four hind tibiae long and 

 slightly sinuate, not distinctly truncate ; tibial spur longer than 

 the three basal joints of tarsi in the four posterior tibins ; sutural 

 ridges distinctly visible. Head not perceptibly elongated. The 

 four posterior tibiae are produced into a long inarticulated spur ; 

 the apical spur on anterior tibiae is very short and almost obsolete.

 Four posterior tibiae truncated at tips, the posterior pair 

 having a single spur ; intermediate tibiae with a single inarticu- 

 lated spur ; hind tibiae produced into an inarticulated spur, and 

 the extremities distinctly but obliquely truncated. Sides of 

 abdomen attenuated towards the apex ; sides of thorax rounded, 

 not produced into a point in the centre ; hind tibiae comparatively 

 short, not sinuated. Apical spurs of the four posterior tibiae 

 short, barely exceeding in length the fourth or basal joint of the
