■end of the middle highly elevated part a strong carina runs 
obliquely towards the eye rising into a kind of tubercle at its apex 
where it is met by another carina given off from the extreme end 
of the carina that forms the hind margin of the clypeus ; the 
back part of the head is elevated in a bifid tubercle. The prothorax 
is strongly declivous in its anterior part, the margin of the hinder 
part of the declivous space being prominent and conspicuous.

novelties.

The long head horizontally projecting from the bottom of the 
almost perpendicular front face of the prothorax is very tortoise- 
like. The surface of the excavated part of the prothorax is almost 
lievigate in the male ; in the female it is punctured rather more 
strongly but much more sparingly than the middle jairt of the di.se 
behind the transverse carina, its puncturation consisting of largo
