 with median area rugose within, the field in the shape of an oblong

 hind eyes; face with white hairs, clypeus and mandibles testaceous; 

 scape and second joints of antennae testaceous, rest fuscous. (Fig. 

 26.) Pronotum longer than wide (5:4), narrower than mesoscutum, 

 shining with large closely placed punctures anteriorly, so that it 

 appears rugose there, punctations become smaller and more widely

 smooth, polished, with distinct parapsidal furrows converging and 

 extending half way towards scutellum; legs testaceous with fuscous 

 shadings on the fore femora and stalk of hind tibiae ; chela as. in 

 Figure 12; wings diaphanous, radius with only a very short distal
