  carina 
  sharp, 
  equal 
  and 
  percurrent, 
  the 
  lateral 
  carinae 
  distinct 
  but 
  con- 
  

   fined 
  to 
  the 
  anterior 
  lobe 
  of 
  the 
  prozona, 
  and 
  somewhat 
  approximated, 
  

   the 
  two 
  sections 
  of 
  the 
  prozona 
  independently 
  and 
  rather 
  abruptly- 
  

   tumid 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  lateral 
  lobes, 
  the 
  transverse 
  sulci 
  of 
  

   the 
  prozona 
  obscure 
  but 
  straight, 
  the 
  front 
  margin 
  truncate, 
  the 
  hind 
  

   margin 
  produced 
  but 
  obtusangulate. 
  Prostemal 
  spine 
  sharply 
  acumi- 
  

   nate; 
  meso- 
  and 
  metastethia 
  together 
  much 
  longer 
  than 
  broad; 
  the 
  

   mesosternal 
  lobes 
  approximate 
  in 
  tlie 
  male, 
  the 
  metasternal 
  attingent. 
  

   Tegmina 
  abbreviate, 
  broad 
  lanceolate, 
  acuminate, 
  attingent. 
  Hind 
  

   femora 
  not 
  very 
  long, 
  the

  basal, 
  transverse, 
  fuscous 
  streak; 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  with 
  12 
  spines 
  in 
  

   the

  Abdomen 
  of 
  male 
  compressed, 
  the 
  subgenital 
  plate 
  

   equal, 
  its 
  middle 
  with

  pronounced, 
  backward 
  directed, 
  apical 
  tubercle, 
  

   the 
  lateral 
  margins 
  basally 
  ampliate;

  Of 
  medium 
  size, 
  glistening 
  flavo-testaceous. 
  Head 
  prominent, 
  light 
  

   fusco-olivaceous, 
  above 
  broadly 
  infuscated 
  along 
  the 
  middle 
  line 
  and 
  

   with 
  a 
  narrow 
  piceous 
  postocular 
  stripe, 
  bordered 
  by 
  tiavous; 
  vertex 
  

   feebly 
  tumid, 
  not 
  rising 
  above 
  the 
  level 
  of 
  the 
  pronotum, 
  the 
  interspace 
  

   between 
  the 
  eyes 
  fully 
  half 
  as 
  broad 
  again 
  as 
  the 
  first 
  antennal 
  joint;

  distinctly 
  broader 
  above 
  it, 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  be 
  as 
  

   broad 
  there 
  as 
  the 
  interspace 
  between 
  the 
  eyes, 
  the

  very 
  prominent,

  again 
  as 
  the 
  intraocular 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  genae; 
  

   antennae 
  luteous. 
  Pronotum 
  equal, 
  in 
  no 
  way 
  flaring 
  on 
  the 
  metazona, 
  

   the 
  lateral 
  lobes 
  with 
  a 
  not 
  very 
  broad, 
  percurrent, 
  glistening, 
  blackish 
  

   fuscous, 
  postocular 
  stripe, 
  directly 
  beneath

  the 
  lateral 
  lobes 
  are 
  

   more 
  brightly 
  colored 
  than 
  below; 
  disk 
  broadly 
  convex, 
  passing 
  into 
  

   the 
  vertical 
  lateral 
  lobes 
  almost 
  insensibly, 
  except 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  sec- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  the 
  prozona, 
  where 
  there 
  are 
  distinct 
  lateral 
  carinae, 
  which 
  are 
  

   separated 
  from 
  each 
  other 
  by 
  only 
  about 
  three-fourths 
  the 
  entire 
  width 
  

   of 
  the 
  prozona;

  sharp, 
  percurrent, 
  equal,

  ]ninc- 
  

   tate, 
  nearly 
  half 
  as 
  long 
  again 
  as 
  the 
  rather 
  closely 
  and 
  linely 
  punctate 
  

   metazona. 
  Prostemal 
  spine 
  small 
  and 
  rather 
  short, 
  acutely 
  conical; 
  

   interspace 
  between 
  mesosternal 
  hibes 
  very 
  narrow, 
  much 
  more 
  than
