 narrowing ventrally ; epimeral sulcus entirely crenulate, with

 moderately closely punctured, one or two lai'ge fovese outside the 

 intermediate coxse close to the extremity of the epimeral sulcus. 

 Median segment coarsely sculptured ; a,pical carina of the basal 

 area broadly interrupted in the middle, the basal area smooth 

 and shining ; areola and petiolar area fully separated, the former 

 smooth, with one or two large punctures and rngulose towards 

 the sides, especiall)' jDosteriorly, petiolar area transversely rugu-

I'idges, so that anteriorly this area is crenulate. Spiracles of the 

 petiole just behind the middle, much nearer to each other than 

 to the apex of the segment, a well-defined tooth (text-fig. 11, a) on 

 each side of the petiole, nearer to the base than to the spiracle ; 

 the central dorsal portion of the petiole basally distinctly raised, 

 with a sulcus near each spiracle ; gastrocceli distinct, finely punc- 

 tured, abdomen otherwise smooth. Second abscissa of the radius 

 a little shorter than the second transverse cubital nervure, 

 distance between the recurrent nervure and the second transverse 

 cubital nervure moi'e than half as great as the length of the latter 

 nervure. Externally the hind coxfe and femora are sparsely but 

 rather deeply punctured. Tarsal unguis etc., text-fig. 4, a.
