convex, the occipital angles broadly rounded. Mandibles 
thick, with two large apical teeth followed by three or four 
smaller ones. Anterior half of clypeus flat, depressed along 
the anterior border, which is straight. Frontal carine feebly 
dilated at the insertions of the antennz, about one-third as 
long as the scape. A ridge continues them to the vertex. 
The space between the eyes and the frontal carine is slightly 
raised, so as to give the impression of an antennal scrobe 
at each side, though a definite scrobe does not exist. The 
scapes fail to reach the occiput by over twice their greatest

diameter. The apical joint of the club, which is very dis- 
tinctly 3-jomted, is almost as long as the two others 
together. Joints 2-6 of funiculus subequal, slightly longer 
than broad, the fifth and sixth somewhat thickened, the 
seventh still more so and longer. 
Pronotum broader than long, the sides convex posteriorly, 
then becoming concave towards the anterior angles, which 
are triangular, but not, strictly speaking, dentate. Pro- 
mesonotal suture indicated by a slight break in the 
sculpture. The mesonotum a little below the halfway 
line has a blunt projection on each side directed forwards.
