the sculpture of the teguments; clypeus hollowed and with the 
margins very much reflexed, the outer part is produced obliquely 
outwardly, the outer angles of the anterior part are produced into a 
somewhat blunted tooth, while the anterior margin is also produced 
diagonally from the outer angle to the median part, where it is 
triangularly incised, with the angles of the incision forming two 
broad sub-triangular teeth, the outer angles of the anterior part are 
not quite as sharp in the female as in the male, the hollowed clypeus 
is closely punctate and moderately pubescent, the frontal part of the 
head is entirely hidden by the long hairs, but it is closely punctulate 
like the prothorax ; the scutellum is sparingly punctate and smooth 
at the apex; elytra a little ampliated laterally past the humeral part,
