Occiput margined above, slightly concave ; ocelli in a 

 straight line ; front broadly excavated ; clypeus transverse

 projecting into a lamina with a curved incision in the centre ; 

 in the ? it does not form a lamina and is more deeply curved ; 

 and in the $ there is, in the centre, a stout keel which is
