convex, the occipital angles broadly rounded. ^landibles 

 thick, with two large apical teeth folh)wed by three or four 

 smaller ones. Anterior half of clypeus flat, de|)ressed along 

 the anterior border, w hich is straight. Frontal carinre feebly 

 -dilated at the insertions o£ the autennse, about one-third as 

 long as the scape. A ridge continues them to the vertex. 

 The space ^jetween the eyes and the frontal carinje is slightly 

 raised, so as to give the impression of an antennal scrobe 

 at each side, though a definite sci'obe does not exist. The 

 scapes fail to reach the occiput by over twice their greatest

diameter. The apical joint of the club, which is very dis- 

 tinctly 3-jointed, is almost as long as the two others 

 together. Joints 2-6 of funiculus subequal, slightly longer 

 than broad, the fifth and sixth somewhat thickened, the 

 seventh still more so and longer. 



Pronotum broader than long, the sides convex posteriorly, 

 then becoming concave towards the anterior angles, which 

 are triangular, but not, strictly speaking, dentate. Pro- 

 mesonotal suture indicated by a slight break in the 

 sculpture. The mesonotum a little below the halfway 

 Hue has a blunt projection on each side directed forwards.
