at about one-third before basal margin, behind this impression 

 longitudinally carinate, the most prominent carinations being six 

 in number, the lateral areas are flatly ampliate, very much less 

 pubescent and more ochraceous in hue, their margins shortly 

 setose, prominently sinuate near anterior angles which are shortly 

 obtusely spinous ; scutellum with a short uprightly setose elevation 

 on each side near base, its apex somewhat prominently tuberculous ; 

 corium thickly, finely granulose; membrane not reaching abdominal 

 apex; connexivum broad, the posterior angles of the segments mode- 

 rately angulate, the segments also moderately foveately depressed ; 

 body beneath palely fuscously pubescent, the lateral areas of the pro- 

 sternum more or less ochraceous ; abdomen with a sublateral fascia 

 on each side united subapically, black in appearance caused by the 

 absence of the paler pubescence ; anterior legs fuscously pubes- 

 cent, the tarsi castaneous at base and black at apex; intermediate 

 and posterior legs more or less olivaceous, shortly setose.

Brownish grey ; head between the eyes more than twice broader 

 than long, centrally distinctly produced where its anterior margin 

 is finely crenulate, in the middle near base two small distinct

moderately gibbous, transversely impressed before anterior margin, 

 a small foveation on each side near its middle, the outer margins 

 of this raised area sinuate, and with a transverse sinuate impres- 

 sion at its posterior margin, between which and base are two 

 widely separated longitudinal carinations; the lateral pronotal areas 

 flattened and ampliate, their margins almost straight for half the 

 distance from base and then oblique and slightly rounded to eyes, 

 the basal margin distinctly sinuate, the whole surface finely, 

 sparsely granulose ; scutellum with three tubercles, one on each
