" Very near Pundaluoya, Kirk., but differs by the long head, 

 angularly produced in front, the rather long face evenly rounded 

 outside, and the narrow tegmina, \\'hich are close to the body and 

 apically are obliquely rounded ; vertex nearly as long as broad 

 posteriorly, between the eyes and towards the front angularly 

 narrowed, at apex rounded, upper surface flat, on sides and in 

 front distinctly keeled, the keels running from the apex to the 

 straight hind margin ; face almost three times as long as broad at 

 clypeus, distinctly narrowed above, outer margins evenly, weakly, 

 curved outward and keeled, in the middle a continuous keel, 

 clypeus one-third the length of face, in the middle and ou sides 

 keeled, bending downward and forming with disk of face an obtuse 

 angle ; eyes reniform, the front lobes larger than the posterior 

 ones ; antennae inserted in the cavities passing the eyes, the second 

 joint as long as first ; as in Pvndaluoya there runs from the lower 

 margin of the eye obliquely down to suture of clypeus a narrow 

 fold, behind which the anteunal cavities lie ; ocelli distinct ; pro- 

 notum as long as vertex, rounded in front betv^een the eyes, 

 posteriorly obtusely angularly excavated, with three sharp keels ;
