Head very finely shagreened throughout, very slightly wider 

 than pronotum; the length of vertex into width between eyes, 

 eleven times ; vertex as long at middle as at eyes. Face broader 

 than long ; ocelli nearer to eyes than to median line ; front more 

 than a fourth broader than long;^ clypeus broader than long, 

 apical margin slightly incurved ; lorse very small, scarcely longer 

 than clypeus, and not one half as wide. Width of pronotum
