superantes. Oculi extantes. Rostrum validum, coxas anticas attingens. 
Antenne graciles, quinque-articulate, corporis dimidio paullo longiores ; 
articulus lus faciem attingens. Thoracis cornua lata, sat longa, apice trun- 
cata, oblique porrecta. Scutellum attenuatum, corporis dimidio brevius,

Body nearly elliptical, thickly and rather roughly punctured. Head 
small, conical in front, a little longer than broad; lateral lobes conniving 
much beyond the middle lobe. Eyes prominent. Rostrum stout, extending 
to the fore coxe. Antenne slender, a little more than half the length of

shorter than the third; fourth much longer than the third; fifth shorter 
than the fourth. Thorax with a slight transverse ridge between the horns, 
which are broad, slightly tapering, truncated at the tips, slightly ascending, 
extending obliquely forward, about half the length of the intermediate
