 a tootii-like ridge, before wliich (at jiroxiraiil f-ide) there is a larger number of 

 hairs ; sternite with a long, enrved, mesial lobe, which is gradually narrowed to 

 a point (X('). the snbih)rs(i-lateral edge of the sternite is somewhat recurved, 

 forming a fold wliieh liears some hairs. The dasper is not larger than in
