Belongs to the same group as the curious New-Caledonian 

 Entcodes, hut differs totally from that genus in facies and in 

 the narrow pro- and rnesosterna. The head of the male is 

 very similar, the orbit of the eyes being abruptly salient, and 

 the mouth, though narrow, extremely broad ; the eyes are 

 simply reniform^ with the upper portion rather narrow.

 fine fresh examples they have a few dark brown spots and an 

 oblique fascia of the same colour after the middle.
