strongly punctured, sparsely covered with white hair ; the 

 vertex strongly punctured ; the front deeply excavated. 

 Thorax closely and strongly punctured, and thickly 

 covered with white hair. The scutellum is black, broadly 

 white round the sides and apex in front ; behind entirely 

 white, as is also the postscutellum ; the scutellum is 

 rugose and thickly covered with long, glistening white 

 hair ; its apex, looked at from the front, is rounded ; its 

 sides are strongly striolated ; there is no depression at, its 

 base, nor are there any parapsidal furrows. The me- 

 dian segment is obliquely depressed at the base ; the 

 rest has a rounded slope ; at the base in the centre 

 there is a short, broad area, with curved, obliquely 

 narrowed sides ; from its sides two keels run to the 

 apex of the segment. The entire segment is thickly 

 covered with long, white hair, and is rugosely punctured ; 

 the lateral spines are large, broadly dilated laterally, 

 and have a round fovea on the top ; on the outside 

 a keel runs from the spine to the apex ; the part 

 below them is pale yellow and is closely transversely 

 striated. The base of the propleurae is bright fulvous- 

 yellow ; the upper part is coarsely punctured ; the lower 

 part stoutly longitudinally striated. The mesopleurse 

 coarsely punctured; its base with a belt of fine punctures, 

 the apex with a crenulated furrow ; there is an oblique 

 furrow in the middle, and there is a wider, deeper one on 

 the lower side, marked with keels ; the metapleurae 

 rugosely punctured ; their base depressed ; above at the 

 base there is a band which is finely punctured. Meso- 

 sternum strongly punctured, deeply furrowed down the 

 middle. The radial cellule is lanceolate at the base and 

 apex ; the transverse basal nervure is interstitial ; the 

 only transverse cubital nervure is curved ; the recurrent 

 nervure is largely bullated in the middle, and is received
