 cf. Antennae 9-jointed, the scape greatly swollen, 3 times 

 longer than wide, curved, the 2 nd Joint small , wider than long, 

 the 3 rd 3 times longer than wide, the 4 th to 8 th clearly separated, 

 wider than long , the last conical , longer than wide ; the scape 

 in the $ not swollen nor curved, fully 4 times longer than wide, 

 the other joints pretty much as in the o* , but bare , those in 

 the (f having some short hairs ; the antennae are placed close 

 to the middle of the head. The inner side of the eyes is bor- 

 dered by a stout keel, which extends below them and is separated 

 from them by a weakly striated space. Eyes bare , prominent, 

 as long as the malar space. Pronotum almost as long as 

 the mesonotum , which has distinct curved parapsidal furrows. 

 Scutellum large , prominent , rounded behind , longer than the 

 mesonotum. Metanotum obliquely sloped, the centre being broadly 

 raised and clearly separated from the sides , which are flatter. 

 Abdomen shorter than the thorax ; the l st , 3 rd and 4 th segments 

 large, the 2 nd about half their length ; the apical small, narrowed 

 to a point. The post-costal nervure reaches beyond the middle 

 of the wing , the stigma is not so long as the metacarpus ; the

 dered by keels which converge below ; the sides of the face 

 obliquely, somewhat strongly striated ; the depressed centre of 

 the front smooth, the sides closely rugosely punctured ; the vertex 

 and upper part of occiput closely umbilically punctured. Pro- and 

 mesonotum and the scutellum coarsely umbilically punctured, the 

 middle of metanotum obscurely transversely striated , the sides 

 closely rugosely punctured. Pleurae finely rugosely punctured,
