long, {Icclivity flat. Epinotal spines nearly liorizontal, as 

 long as lialf the width between thena. First node slightly 

 br.)ader than long, equally broad in front and behind, the 

 sid.'s evenly convex ; second node as wide as the first, divided 

 into two discs. 



Mandibles evci\ly striate througliout their whole length. 

 Clvpens stiiate in front and at sides, smooth in the middle 

 and posteriorly. Cheeks and sides of head longitudinally 

 striate as far the posterior border of eyes ; centre of head 

 and occiput smooth and shining (in the 5 major there is a 

 faint striation U[) to near the occiput; iu the ^ minor the 

 head is altogether more feebly striate). 



Whole of dorsum of thorax coarsely longitudinally striate, 

 including the space between the spines. Declivity smooth 

 and shining. There is also a ground-reticulation between 

 the strioR of the thorax. In the $ minor the striation is 

 less regular and the reticulation more evident. First node 

 shining, superficially reticulate ; discs of second node smooth 

 and shining. Gaster smooth and shining. 



Antennae and tibi?e with erect hairs. Whole body 

 abundantly supplied with a long pilosity. Head iu addition

 from eye to eye describes almost a half-circle. Scape almost 

 twice as long as broad and nearly twice as long as the first 

 joint of funiculus, which is globular; the second longer than 

 broad, the third as long as broad, the remainder increasing 

 sliglitly in length and decreasing in breadth. 



Thorax very large, high, and rounded. Base of epinotmn 

 about as long as declivity, which is rounded, ablunt ])rojection 

 at each side. From above both nodes are broader than long, 

 the first twice as broad, the anterior border widely concave, 

 sides parallel, the second wider, more than twice as broad as 

 long, the sides rounded. In profile the anterior bf)r(ler of
