 Thorax hardly narrowed forwards, subsinuate before the middle on both 

 sides, behind the middle gradually elevated backwards, remotely sprin- 

 kled with granules, posteriorly furnished with four parallel ridges. 

 Scutellum with the apical part much elevated and longitudinally birugose, 

 the wrinkles (rugoe) granulated. Tegmina gradually a little amj)lified
