The front median eyes, half the diameter of the others, are one- 

 half of their own diameter apart; they are a,s far from the rear 

 median as the latter from the side. The chjpeus is as broad as 

 the median eye-area is long, and the deep indentation characteristic 

 of this genus runs below the front row of eyes. 



The mandibles are much swollen in the upper half, whence 

 they narrow and become almost cylindrical in their lower half ; 

 they are as long as the front of the head part is broad. On the 

 outer margin of the falx-sheath are two long teeth followed by 

 two smaller.

The li]) is broader than long, round at tlie top, with the pro- 

 truding upper margin of the genus, and less than half the height 

 of the maxilla2. These are ujoright, small at the base and gradually 

 widen out as they curve over the lip. 



The sternum is a broad shield-shape, straight in front, rounded 

 at the sides and running to a point at the rear, where the coxfe 

 do not quite meet. The latter are rather unusually large and 

 rounded, especially the anterior pair.
