 disk nearly plane, but very broadly convex transversely, with well 

 roun<lcd angles in passing into the vertical lateral lobes, and a very 

 feeble, blunt, median carina; prozona about twice as long as the meta 

 zona, sparsely punctate especially in the female, the metazona densely 

 punctate, the transverse sulci of the lormer much as in Sinaloa, but
