? . Clypeus ■with a strong longitudinal carina, which is 

 continued between the an ten me and thence more finely 

 almost to the anterior ocellus. Eyes converging a little 

 towards the clypeus, the inner margin marked by a well- 

 defined carina. Front concave, opaque, aciculate; vertex 

 smooth and shining. Head much narrowed behind the eyes, 

 the posterior ocelli very close together and as far from the 

 ])osterior margin of the head as from the eyes. Antennte 

 inserted low down on the sides of the clypeus, very near the 

 eyes, more than twice as far from each otiier as from the 

 eyes, the flagellum very slender at the base, a little thickened 

 to the apex, three times as long as the scape, the whole 

 antenna longer than the head and pronotum combined, the 

 second joint of the flagellum a little longf^r than the third 

 and more than half as long again as the first. Pronotum 

 small, the anterior angles prominent, rather indistinctly 

 longitudinally striated, about twice as broad as long. 

 ]\Iesonotum strongly arched, sparsely punctured, with two 

 longitudinal furrows on each side, tiie inuci* one reaching 

 from the anterior niai'gin to the middle, the outer one verv 

 short and not reaching the margin, the space between the 

 inner furrows marked with two obscure longitudinal carinse. 

 Scntellum with a transverse, longitudinally striated de- 

 pression at the base, otherwise smooth and shining ; post-
