due to the emargination of the eyes, entirely, transversely rugose, 

 less distinctly so along the median prominence, clypeus nearly 

 smooth; mouth opening small, narrow, subcircular; clypeus 

 small and narrow, basal suture high and narrowly arched; cly- 

 peal pits large, distant from eyes about three times their dia- 

 meter. Head viewed from side with face margin outcurved 

 just below antennae, then straight to depressed clypeus; cheek 

 narrow, one third width of eye, outet margin parallel with eye 

 margin ; malar space large, its length twice the width of cheek ; 

 eyes large, subelliptical. Maxillary palpi barely reaching tegulse, 

 slender, terete; third and fourth joints longest, subequal, and 

 each equaling fifth and sixth together ; labial palpi short, rather 

 stout, last three joints subequal in length. 



Antennae subequal to entire body in length; scape very short 

 and thick, scarcely longer than width at widest part and little 

 narrowed proximad; funicle stout, more than half length of 

 scape; middle flagellar joints about twice as long as wide. 



Mesonotum not distinctly trilobed, though long at middle, 

 notauli superficial and fine, straight and rather widely separated 

 posteriorly; surface of mesonotum rugulose-shagreened, poste- 

 rior median area plane and rugose. Scutellum anteriorly bifo- 

 veate, foveas separated by a high, sharp, median carina, each 

 fovea crossed by several low longitudinal carinae; disk of 

 scutellum shagreened. Metanotum coarsely, irregularly rugose 

 and shagreened between the rugae, with a strong, entire, straight, 

 median carina; metapleura shagreened on disk, strongly rugose 

 toward borders ; spiracle small and circular and with a fine, sinu- 

 ous, longitudinal, sutural carina passing beneath it; mesopleura 

 shallowly rugose and shagreened, near anterior border with a 

 broad, shallow, vertical depression, entire posterior half sud- 

 denly, strongly depressed, this depressed area medially with a 

 series of about five very strong oblique rugae, which are an- 

 gulated at middle. 



Abdomen little longer than head and thorax together, sessile, 

 subelliptical in outline, slightly broader apically, with four ter- 

 gites and a part of fifth exposed, first four strongly sculptured, 

 fifth more finely and differently sculptured; first tergite rapidly 

 broadening caudad, its length subequal to apical width, its basal 

 width little greater than half apical width; second tergite very 

 broad, a little shorter than first, length little more than half 

 apical width; third tergite broadest, three fourths length of 

 second, its length much less than half apical width; fourth 

 longer, but narrower than third ; first to third tergites coarsely, 

 longitudinally striate and completely, medially carinate, the striae
