 concave on the lower margin, with the upper margin excurved 

 beyond the middle, having irregular tubercles from which arise 

 fairly strong spines ; the apex is suddenly excavated into the shape 

 of a strong, fairly large, siclde-shaped termination, having a few 

 minute teeth at the basal section; the spines are not numerous, 

 and are mostly gathered to the excurved portion. The cingulum 

 is narrow for its whole length, but expands somewhat 'as it nears 

 the tegumcn, smallish, excavated almost throughout its dorsal edge> 

 leaving only a narrow collar at its rear to connect its two cheeks ; 

 the falces are of moderate mdth, curved, very long, with a small 

 sliarp hook at the extremities; the cheeks are plentifully supplied 

 with fine hairs or spines; aedoeagus of moderate length, rather
