 eyes large, obliquely directed along the lateral margins of 

 the pronotum ; face long, narrow, the lateral margins 

 strongly ridged and slightly undulate, divergent before the 

 clypeus, which is tricarinate and only slightly shorter than 

 the face J antcnnie with the second joint very long, longer 

 than the head and pronotum together ; pronotum short, 

 centrally tricarintite, the lateral areas extending backwardly 

 and obliquely over the lateral margins of the mesonotum, its 

 margins ridged ; mesonotum obscurely tricarinate ; abdomen 

 siiort and robust ; legs slender, posterior tibiae with a distinct
