 Cladonotella ; the lateral lobes having the posterior angles somewhat 

 scabrous, laminate and obtuse, truncate obliquely behind, the margins 

 of lobe minutely armed with setae. Body tomentose, not bearing 

 spiniform tubercles ; stature very small, face nearly vertical ; vertex

 carina) small and little compressed. Elytra and wings wanting. 

 Anterior and middle femora strongly compressed, margins distinctly 

 lobate, superior tibial carina) lobate, posterior femora having the 

 proximal half crassate, the distal half reduced, superior external area 

 and external surface below nodulose and scabrous, antegenicular 

 lobes very large, triangular but not acute, the genicular lobes less
