  with 
  a 
  low 
  median 
  keel 
  and 
  with 
  two 
  

   lateral, 
  posteriorly 
  converging, 
  granular 
  keels, 
  which

  by 
  a

  Anterior 
  four 
  sternites 
  perfectly 
  smooth 
  and 
  marked 
  in 
  

   front 
  with 
  two 
  obscure 
  abbreviated 
  sulci 
  ; 
  the

   Fabr., 
  slightly 
  attenuated 
  towards 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  the 
  segments 
  

   becoming 
  progressively 
  more 
  hollowed 
  from 
  before 
  backwards, 
  

   the 
  last 
  being 
  excavated 
  behind

  The 
  first 
  marked 
  with 
  ten 
  complete 
  keels, 
  which, 
  on 
  

   the 
  under 
  surface, 
  are 
  much 
  less 
  sharply 
  granular 
  than 
  on 
  the 
  

   upper 
  surface 
  ; 
  inferior 
  intercarinal 
  spaces 
  smooth, 
  superior 
  

   very 
  finely 
  granular 
  ; 
  second 
  segment 
  like 
  the 
  first, 
  except 
  

   that 
  the 
  median 
  lateral 
  keel 
  is 
  abbreviated 
  in

   lateral 
  intercarinal

  line 
  of 
  fine

   fourth 
  segment 
  smooth 
  in 
  the 
  middle

  granular 
  at 
  the 
  

   sides

  at 
  most 
  with

  the 
  

   smallest 
  indication 
  of 
  the 
  median 
  lateral

   not

  granular 
  ;

  and 
  under

   thickly 
  covered 
  with 
  coarse 
  granules 
  ; 
  the 
  inferior 
  median 
  

   keel 
  more 
  prominent 
  than 
  the 
  inferior 
  lateral 
  keels 
  ; 
  the 
  

   blunt 
  granules 
  which 
  mark 
  the 
  lateral 
  keels 
  becoming 
  slightly 
  

   larger 
  towards 
  the 
  hinder 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  segment 
  ; 
  the 
  hinder 
  end 
  

   of 
  the 
  segment 
  slightly 
  constricted, 
  then 
  dilated 
  into 
  a 
  feebly 
  

   dentate 
  lobe. 
  Vesicle 
  large, 
  coarsely 
  granular 
  beneath, 
  

   more 
  finely 
  at 
  the 
  sides, 
  wider 
  than 
  the 
  hinder 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  

   fifth 
  segment, 
  but 
  narrower 
  than 
  its 
  front 
  end 
  : 
  a 
  little 
  

   thicker 
  than 
  it 
  is 
  high 
  ; 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  aculeus, 
  which 
  is 
  

   normally 
  curved 
  ; 
  vesicle 
  and

  together 
  a
