stitial. Legs thickly covered with white pubescence ; the 

 coxae, trochanters, knees and the base of the tibiae white ;

Long. lo-ii. mm. 



Antennae as long as the abdomen, stout, covered with 

 a microscopic pile ; the third joint twice the length of the 

 fourth. Front and vertex strongly punctured, the frontal 

 area horseshoe-shaped ; the bounding keel large, broad, 

 punctured, extending behind the front ocellus ; the vertex 

 behind the ocelli raised, the raised part distinctly margined ; 

 the occiput sharply margined, projecting into a short tooth 

 behind the vertical furrow. The clypeus is closely and 

 strongly punctured as is also the labrum ; both are bluntly 

 rounded at the apex ; the head above the antennae is 

 thickly covered with short, fuscous, below with longer, white 

 hair. Mesonotum shining, strongly, but not closely or 

 coarsely, punctured ; the scutellum with the punctures 

 equally large but more widely separated ; the metanotum 

 closely and strongly punctured, widely and deeply de- 

 pressed at the base. Legs black, the calcaria paler ; the 

 claws bifid, rufous ; the tibiae and tarsi thickly covered 

 with pale pubescence ; the inner spur of the anterior 

 calcaria is dilated at the apex, and ends in two spines, the 

 inner being broader and shorter than the outer. The third 

 cubital cellule is longer than the second, the first recurrent 

 nervure is received shortly before the middle, the second 

 not far from the base of the cellule ; the transverse median 

 is received near the basal nervure. Abdomen smooth and 

 shining. On the legs the patellae are large and well 

 developed ; the blotch is small.
