Mentum broad, not distinctly separated by a suture from the short 

 ligular part which is bi-impressed on the outer face and a little 

 shorter and narrower than the mentum which is nearly twice as 

 broad as long and sharply angular laterally, the ligula is briefly 

 incised at the centre, the apical joint of the labial palpi is fusiform 

 outwardly but not inwardly, and as long as the preceding joint ; 

 maxillae robust, armed at apex with a sharply trifid upper tooth and 

 a double inner one, these teeth are nearly straight ; last joint of 

 maxillary palpi fusiform, acuminate, moderately swollen, deeply 

 impressed outwardly for half its length ; mandibles somewhat blunt 

 at apex, incised in the median part of the inner edge, and having a 

 long, ciliate membrane ; clypeus truncate in front and with the outer 

 angles slightly rounded, separated from the head by a straight suture, 

 somewhat narrow in the anterior vertical part which is not much 

 attenuated, and with the upper margin moderately reflexed ; labrum 

 vertical and as wide as the vertical part of the clypeus, broadly 

 incised as far as the base in the central part ; eyes large, divided in 

 front by a hairy canthus ; antennae 10- jointed, second joint trans- 

 verse, compressed laterally, third-fourth cylindrical, equal, fifth-sixth 

 compressed and angular on the inner side, seventh laminate, short, 

 eighth-tenth laminate, very long, slightly inflexed and forming the 

 club ; prothorax attenuate laterally from the slightly ampliated median 

 part, sinuate in the posterior part with the basal angle sharp, base 

 sinuate ; scutellum cordate ; elytra slightly ampliated laterally at 

 about the median part, hardly convex, costulate, covering the basal 

 part of the propygidium ; pygidium vertical ; anterior tibiae sharply 

 tri-dentate and having a somewhat long inner spur ; the oblique
