rather short ; antenjia3 separated from the base of tlie cljpeus 

 by a distance nearly as great as the leugtli of the scape, 

 second joint of the ilagellum nearly twice as long as the third, 

 apical joint a little longer than the penultimate. Eyes nearly 

 jiarallel, posterior ocelli more than half as far again from the 

 eyes as from each other. Very minutely and closely punc- 

 tured, more finely on the abdomen than on the thorax, the 

 abdomen shining. Anterior tarsi with long spines, inter- 

 mediate tibiaj and tarsi spinose, posterior tibiae and tarsi more 

 feebly sfjinose. Apical dorsal segment with a pygidial area, 

 very narrowly rounded at the apex. First transverse cubital 

 nervure curved near the cubitus, second strongly curved out- 

 wards. Third cubital cell shorter on the radius than on the 

 cubitus, second abscissa of the radius a little shorter than the 

 first.
