Normal position. 



F e m a 1 e. Near to Megalocolus Kieby but the antennae 11-jointed, 

 the abdomen normal, only the lateral projections of the metathorax 

 hairy. 



Head normal, the occipital foraminal depression margined laterad 

 but the occipital margin of the Vertex obtuse, the Vertex sloping 

 caudad from the ocelli, the latter disposed in a flat triangle along 

 the top ridge of the Vertex, round, the lateral ocelli nearly their 

 own diameter from the respective eye margins. Eyes ovate, practi- 

 cally naked. Antennal scrobes sharply defined, deep, reaching to 

 the edge of the cephalic ocellus, their outer and ventral edges 

 margined, separated from each other near base. Antennae 12-jointed, 

 normal scape, pedicel, 1 ring-joint, 7 funicle joints and a 2-jointed 

 club ; pedicel small, not half as long as the first funicle Joint, which 

 is the longest antennal Joint excepting the scape ; antennae cylindrical, 

 the funicle joints shortening distad, there subquadrate. Antennae 

 inserted somewhat below the middle of the face but slightly above 

 an imaginary line drawn between the ventral ends of the eyes. 



Pronotum large, at the meson nearly half the lengtli of the 

 mesoscutum. Parapsidal furrows complete, gently curved. Scutellum 

 at the median line slightly longer than the mesoscutum, rounded, 

 unarmed with the exception of a projected plate caudad which is 

 emarginate at the meson. Metanotum in the lateral aspect on each 

 side with a humped projection covered with pubescence. Abdomen 

 sessile, plump, ovate, about as long as the thorax, its second segment 

 largest, occupying a third of the surface, the third segment only
