the clypeus. Lateral facial keels obtuse, in the upper part 
obliterate. Fastigium of the vertex somewhat sloping, 
forming a rounded angle with the frontal ridge, slightly 
impressed, with the margins scarcely raised, acutangularly 
convergent in front. Temporal foveole placed obliquely, 
elongate, not reaching the apex of the fastigium. All ocelli 
undeveloped. Eyes comparatively small, very broad-oval ; 
with the fore lower angle acute ; their height much less than 
the subocular distance ; the distance between the eyes about 
half as broad again as the frontal ridge below antennee. 
Pronotum short and thick, subcylindrical, its dise feebly 
tectiform ; the median keel very low, linear, interrupted by 
the third sulcus only, while two other ‘sulei are undeveloped ; 
lateral keels scarcely perceptible, irregular, somewhat diver- 
gent behind; hind margin obtusangularly excised, exposing 
the short mesonotum. Prosternum only slightly swollen, but 
not armed. Mesosternum very broad, with the interspace 
transverse, LElytra rudimentary, very short and narrow. 
No abdominal tympanum. Hind femora comparatively 
narrow, gradually narrowed towards the apex, without a 
distinct filiform part. Hind tibise with seven to eight outer 
spines, without an apicai one, and with nine or ten inner 
spines including the apical one. Valve of the ovipositor 
short and thick, lower ones without teeth.

?. Dark brown, indistinctly marmorated with blackish, 
dull, but practically smooth. Face somewhat shining, though: 
rugulose; frontal ridge flat, sparsely but rather coarsely 
punctured, with an indistinct impression at the place of the 
median ocellum, slightly narrowed below it, widened and 
disappearing farther downwards. Fastigium of the vertex 
somewhat longer than broad, pentagonal, with the apical 
angle acute; its hind lateral margins short, not reaching 
the middle of the eyes. Disc of the pronotum only a little 
longer than it is broad behind ; prozona twice as long as 
metazona ; lateral keels very feeble, irregular, parallel in the 
front third, then slightly divergent towards the typical sulcus, 
which is very feeble, and more divergent, but broken and 
very irregular in metazona. Lateral lobes of the pronotum 
higher than long; their lower margin very widely rounded 
just behind the middle, with its fore half ascending and . 
forming a widely rounded obtuse angle with the fore margin ; 
hind angle about 90°, rounded ; their surface uneven, convex
