Body straw-colour: head very short; crown broad and slicjhtly 

 convex in front ; front flat, a little narrower towards the epistoma, 

 rounded on each side, bordered by a rim, straight where it joins the 

 epistoma, with a short ridge which extends along half the length 

 from the crown, and has an impression on each side ; compartment 

 on each side»large, very concave; epistoma slightly convex: fore- 

 chest very convex in front, slightly concave behind, bordered by a
