Head small, transverse (as seen from above), short, vertical in 

 front of the eyes. Vertex superficially sulcnlate longitudinally, not

 diverging apically, basal margins above sinuately emarginate. Eyes 

 in profile very broad. Rostrum reaching to the base of the apical 

 3rd of abdomen. Antennas long. Pronotum strongly punctured, 

 convexly elevated, collar distinct and somewhat broad. Lateral
