 thorax rather broad, subparallel towards base, rounded and narrowed in

 with moderate striae, pygidium with dark spots very little marked in 

 fresh specimens, and consisting of brownish pubescence ; anterior legs 

 entirely and tibia} and tarsi of intermediate legs reddish-yellow ; posterior 

 femora with a distinct sharp tooth before apex. L. 2|-3| mm.

 head is rather projecting, with prominent eyes which are entire or emar-
