 straight posterior process; metopidium convex, vertical, about as broad as high; median carina weakly 

 percurrent; humeral angles large, triangular and pointed; suprahumeral horns long, heavy, triquerous, 

 much longer than the distance between their bases, extending upward and outward and usuall}' curving
