Head large, convex on the vertex, the sides converging behind 

 the eyes, the latter hairy, the ocelli in a nearly equilateral trian- 

 gle; the mandibles 3-dentate; the antennae with the third joint 

 about twice as long as the second, and distinctly longer than the 

 third. Maxillary palpi 6-jointed, labial palpi 3-jointed. Prono-

 convergent, but still widely separated at the hind margin; pro- 

 rodeum short, about as long on the dorsum as the scutellum, 

 sharplv truncate, its posterior face twice as long as the dorsal. 

 Front legs not very long, but perfectly chelate, the fourth tarsal
