short, face triangular, antennilferous tubercles angular at 
the sides, cheeks as long as the central lobe, basal joint of 
the antenne scarcely thicker than the rest, rostrum 
reaching to about the middle of the mesosternum; pro- 
notum trapezoidal ; scutellum large, as long or longer than 
wide, membrane with two distinct basal cells; legs with 
the front femora thickened, and bearing a spine-like tooth 
beyond the middle. We have two of the five Huropean
