other and to eyes, the latter distance being about one fourth the 

 distance from ocelh to occiptal carina, the last distance being 

 less than the diameter of an ocellus ; surface in front of anterior 

 ocellus shagreened. 



Face longer than wide, broader above than below on account 

 of the deeply em^rginated eyes; surface not strongly raised, 

 entirely, transversely rugose and with a low median carina on 

 upper half ; clypeus very large, but narrow, strongly semilunate, 

 its surface reticulate-rugose; mouth opening subcircular; outer 

 surface of mandibles longitudinally rugose to near 'apices. Head 

 viewed from side with face a little prominent below antennae; 

 cheek narrow, barely one fourth width of eyes, cheek margin 

 parallel to eye margin ; length of malar space greater than width 

 of cheek; both malar space and cheek finely rugose; eye outline 

 irregularly subelliptical, broader at lower half, lower end more 

 narrowly rounded than upper. 



Mesonotum full and broadly arched, finely rugose-shagreened, 

 slightly depressed lines marking position of notauli anteriorly; 

 posteromedian depressed area shallow, elongate, and finely rugose. 

 Scutellum anteriorly with six small, subequal f ovese, separated by 

 equally strong longitudinal carinse; posterior disk of scutellum 

 subtriangular, bluntly pointed, surface finely rugose-shagreened; 

 postscutellum large, sexfoveate, foveae separated by equally strong 

 longitudinal carinse, two central foveje twice as broad as lateral 

 foveae. Metanotum entirely coarsely reticulate-rugose and sha- 

 greened, and with a sharp median carina on basal half ; spiracle 

 large, broadly elliptical, standing above a sharp, sinuate, longi- 

 tudinal carina, this carina flanking, just below, a narrow crenu- 

 late furrow; metapleura discally, concentrically, finely rugose, 

 upper anterior angle reticulate-rugose and shagreened; meso- 

 pleura with disk not furrowed, but concentrically, finely rugose, 

 upper anterior angle coarsely reticulate-rugose. 



Abdomen slightly longer than head and thorax together, 

 broadly sessile, gradually widening to third segment, remaining 

 segments rapidly narrower and together not longer than third 

 segment; first segment two thirds as broad basally as apically, 

 length one and one-third times the apical breadth; second seg- 

 ment gradually broadened apically, length less than apical width 

 and three fourths the length of first segment; third segment a 

 little broader and three fourths the length of second, the length 

 subequal to one half width; remaining segments all very short, 

 fifth longest, all smooth and shining; first and second tergites 

 and base of third tergite finely longitudinally rugose and me- 

 dially carinate, rugae on third tergite posteriorly oblique, curving
