 beiug at the base; the lateral are larger, wider than Uing, 

 and transverse at the apex, which dues not reach to the ap x 

 of the central one; at their ajjex on the apical slope is a 

 sniooth dépression, longer than broad and slightly narrowed 

 towards the apex. The rest of tlie apical slope is closely and 

 finely rugose; on the apex iu the centre is a short longitndinal 

 keel with 2 narrower keels rnnning obliqnely iuto it ; the
