 obliteratf. Fasti<2;iiiin o£ the vertex somewhat slopiiii^-, 

 toriniiig a rouudeil ani^le with the frontal rid^^e, slij^liiiy 

 impressed, with the margins scarcely raised, acutangularly 

 convergent in front. Temporal foveolaj placed obliquely, 

 elongate, not reaching the apex of the fastigium. All ocelli 

 undeveloped. Eyes comparatively small, very broad-oval ; 

 with the tore lower angle acute; their height much less than 

 the subocular distance ; the distance between the eyes about 

 half as broad again as the frontal ridge below anteniifo. 

 Pronotum short and thick, subc} lindrical, its disc feebly 

 tectiform ; the median keel very low, linear, interrupted by 

 the third sulcus oidy, while two other sulci are undeveloped; 

 lateral keels scarcely perceptible, irregular, somewhat diver- 

 gent behind ; hind margin obtusangularly excised, exj)0sing 

 the short inesonotum. Prosternum only slightly swollen, but 

 not armed. Mesosternum very broad, with the interspace 

 transverse. Elytra rudimentary, very short and narrow. 

 No abdominal tympanum. Hind femora comparatively 

 narroAv, gradually narrowed towards the apex, without a 

 distinct filiform }»art. Hind tibia? with seven to eight outer 

 spines, without an apical one, and with nine or ten inner 

 spines including the apical one. Valvse of the ovipositor 

 short and thick, lower ones without teeth.

$ . Dark brown, indistinctly raarmorated vvitli blackish, 

 dull, but j)ractically smooth. Face somewhat shining, though 

 rugulose ; frontal ridge flat, sparsely but rather coarsely 

 punctured, with an indistinct imj)ression at the place of the 

 median ocellum, slightly narrowed below it, widened and 

 disappearing farther downwards. Fastigium of the vertex 

 somewhat longer than broad, pentagonal, with the a|)ical 

 angle acute ; its hind lateral niai-gins short, not reaching 

 the middle of the eyes. Disc of the pronotum only a little 

 longer than it is broad behind ; pruzona twice as long as 

 metazona ; lateral keels very feeble, irregular, parallel in the 

 front third, then slightly divergent towards the typical sulcus, 

 which is very feeble, and more divergent, but broken and 

 very irregular in metazona. Lateral lobes of the pronotum 

 higher than long; their lower margin very widely rounded 

 just behind the middle, with its fore half ascending and 

 forming a widely rounded obtuse angle with the fore margin ; 

 hind angle about 90°, rounded ; their surface uneven, convex
