 is shallow and coarsely transversely rugose; the ocellus is 

 situated near its upper margin and about halfway between eye 

 and median line of head. The anterior marginal carina of vertex 

 curves to behind the eyes as in Signoretia. Length of vertex 

 greater than width between eyes; the median carina is lami- 

 nately raised to high above the disk, its highest part being on the

posterior half instead of on the anterior half as figured for 

 Pythamus dealbatus Mel. ; the disk concave, except on posterior 

 half near the median carina, where it is swollen against the 

 carina, the remaining portion being finely and irregularly 

 wrinkle concentrically to this swollen portion ; the position of the 

 basal ridge of Signoretia is occupied by a low transverse ridge 

 near the posterior margin. 



Pronotum (fig. 4, a) broader than head, shorter than vertex.
