 the median nearly as large as the lateral, and very distinctly 

 separated from them. 



Labium very wide, densely spinulose, its width almost 

 equal to half the posterior length of the maxilla, and nearly 

 twice as great as the distance between the posterior sternal 

 impressions. 



ISternum oval, only a little longer than wide. 



Mandible not scopulate externally, but furnished behind
