Long. 9 mm. 



$ . Front shining, almost smooth ; eyes very large, very 

 distinctly emarginate near the base of the antennae ; posterior 

 ocelli almost touching the eyes, situated very close to the 

 hind margin of the head. Pronotum with a straight erect 

 spine which does not reach the level of the mesonotum ; 

 parapsidal furrows well defined. Median segment rather 

 indistinctly rugulose, with distinct lateral carins3 and a stout 

 blunt spine on each side at the apical angles, the median 

 third of the segment forming an area separated from the rest 

 by a curved longitudinal carina on each side. Dorsal surface 

 of the abdomen coarsely longitudinally .^triated ; each seg- 

 ment with a low longitudinal carina in the middle, which is 

 not produced into a spine on the third or fourth segments, 

 both of which have a stout but rather short spine at the apical 

 angles; fifth tergite very broad at the apex, produced into a 

 long acute spine in the middle of the apical margin. Second 

 abscissa of the radius not quite as long as the first transverse 

 cubital nervure, but a little longer than the second.
