furrows deep and complete, the parapsides very feebly- 

 depressed; scutellum with two large circular foveae at base, 

 and a longer one on either side ; metanotum with a raised 

 tooth at base, its posterior margin feebly concave. Petiole 

 normal, not twice as long as wide ; body of abdomen with a 

 short median groove at base, its cephalic margin quite straight, 

 the second segment occupying most of surface, gently convex 

 above and beneath. Forewings ample; venation terminating 

 about middle of wing; marginal vein thickened, the stigmal 

 vein short, the basal rather well defined. Antennae 13-jointed ; 

 scape prolonged at apex and covering base of pedicel ; club 

 gradual, 5- or 6-jointed. 



This genus differs from Nem^ogalesus, Kieffer, in that the 

 antennal prominence, when viewed from above, is not very 

 large, but is hidden, and the cephalic margin of the body of 

 the abdomen is quite straight ; also the median groove at base 

 of abdomen is very short, and there is no median impression 

 on the vertex. In habitus the species of this genus are very 

 distinct from those of Neurogalesus, and are much smaller.
