Juga and tylus equal, or somewhat so, in length : bucculae rather 

 elevated throughout their entire length, posteriorly forming a somewhat 

 right angle : second joint of antenn89 about on a level with the apex 

 of the head, not, or only a little, longer than the third, the third joint 

 longer than the first : second joint of rostrum equal, or somewhat so, in 

 length to the two apical taken together, the two apical joints of equal 

 length : prostethium broadly furrowed, margins of furrow elevated, 

 somewhat carinate : costal area of corium very narrow anteriorly and 

 furnished with punctures placed in a simple row, costal margin ante- 

 riorly rounded.

Head very large, flat and long ; the juga very much longer than 

 the tylus, slightly concave, obtusely pointed at the apex, and in $ cleft 

 at the apex, but in d apparently united : lateral angles of the pronotum 

 very strongly produced forwards into robust, obtuse spines which, in 

 the typical species, have their apices parallel to the eyes ; anterior 

 margin concave for the reception of the head, anterior angles minute 

 and truncate, posterior margin sti^ight, oblique from the basal angles 

 of the scutellum to the lateral angles ; scutellum short and broad, not 

 extending much beyond the base of the membrane ; the lateral margins 

 obliquely directed inwardly to about the middle and then straight to 

 near the apex which is broadly rounded ; corium short not reaching 

 the apex of the scutellum : membrane with prominent reticulated 

 veins : rostrum long, about reaching the last coxae ; antennae inserted 

 beneath the head in front of the eyes, the second joint barely reaching 

 the apex of the head (Bist.).
