side, forming a row that joins the postorbitals both ways; in place of 
the usual beard there are numerous short black bristles; antennae

enlarged, a close row of bristles on the lower side which is not inter- 
rupted at the bend; fore metatarsi nearly one-half as long as the 
tibiae and about as long as the remaining four joints together, bent
