 concave vertex ; face deplanate and subglabrous, with the clypeus 

 apically emarginate and basally but indistinctly discrete ; man-

 shorter than the basal width of the mandibles. Antenna? seta-

 fluent with another, rising obliquely from the depressed base of 

 each segment ; terebra stout and not shorter than abdomen, with 

 pilose valvulsc. Legs short and not slender; tarsal claws curved,
