Antennge ferruginous ; darker above, the scape brownish. 

 Front and vertex alutaceous; the incision and the inner orbits 

 black ; the front with a narrow furrow in the middle ; the 

 part bet%veen the antenna projecting, its sides oblique, the 

 centre keeled. Clypeus shining, of a brighter colour than
