 equidistant from each other and from the eyes and situated well above a line drawn through centers 

 of eyes; inferior margins of genae rounded ; clypeus extending for more than half its length below 

 inferior margins of gense, tip rounded. Pronotum convex, with strong suprahumerals which are not 

 contiguous at their bases; metopidium nearly vertical, about as broad as high; median carina strongly 

 percurrent ; humeral angles small, triangular and sharp ; suprahumeral horns strong, heavy, longer than 

 the distance between their bases, flattened, extending outward and upward, tips laminate, truncate and 

 often dentate; posterior process arising from high above the scutellum, sharply angulate at base, often 

 with a tooth at the angle, behind the angle usually straight, slender, acuminate, extending beyond the
