 each side, and another and more robust one at about two-thirds of the 

 length, anterior tibite long, arcuate at base, and straight from there, 

 thickened inwardly, ciliate beneath, apical part strongly incurved, 

 mucro falciform, elongate ; intermediate coxae flattened, strongly 

 dilated inwardly, and bi-dentate at tip, trochanters spinose, tibiae 

 slender, arcuate at tip and ending in a broad quadrate lamina which 

 is spinose inwardly ; posterior coxae slightly dilated inwardly, 

 emarginate at tip, the tip dentate above and under, tibiae broadening

Female : Clypeus produced in a very long, rostrate process 

 slightly recurved at tip, clypeal carina nearly equi-distant from the 

 apex and the frontal carina and extending only over half the width, 

 frontal one semicircular, slightly emarginate in the centre and con- 

 nected laterally with the basal carina which is straight and has in front 

 of it an arcuate laminate ridge much more raised than the frontal one ; 

 sculpture of head, prothorax, and elytra similar to that of the male ; 

 anterior femora thick, tibiae sharply carinate beneath, the carina 

 serrulate for two-thirds of the length, intermediate femora very 

 compressed, posterior ones normal ; pygidium closely granulose 

 and having a longitudinal median shallow groove; metasternum 

 finely aciculate laterally, granulose at middle and having a very 

 deep and broad median longitudinal furrow extending from the base
