Antennal furrow extending as a narrow, depressed line from 

 occiput below lateral ocelli; postocellar area and posterior 

 orbits with punctures of the same size but closer together 

 on postocellar area; lateral lobes of mesonotum not so

broadly rounded at bottom, extending from vertical fur- 

 row to beyond hind angle of eye 21 



Head viewed from above not with a deep transverse furrow 

 extending from vertical furrow to eye, sometimes indicated 

 for a part of the distance 23
