 robust, just passing the posterior coxse ; second joint longer than the 

 third, apical joint shortest : pronotum twice as wide as long, raised and 

 rounded at the base, deflexed in front, angles obtusely prominent ; 

 lateral margins deeply sinuated, with their anterior portion crenulated : 

 scutellum reaching a little beyond the base of membrane, gradually nar- 

 rowed for two-thirds its length from the base, when it is straightened to 

 apex, which is moderately broad and rounded ; width at base about 

 equal to length : membrane with longitudinal veins : abdomen widened 

 above, projecting a little on each side, convex beneath, abdomen and
