broader in front than behind. Promesonotal and mesoépinotal sutures dis; 
tinct; mesonotum somewhat higher than the pronotum, feebly convex, form- 
ing a regular transverse ellipse. Mesoépinotal constriction short but dis- 
tinct, its bottom formed by the mesoépinotal suture only. Epinotum a 
little broader than long, with feebly rounded sides, its base very short and 
horizontal, passing through a rounded angle into the much longer, sloping

of the body and appendages, including the antennal funiculi. Pubescence
