 last joints are parallel, laminate and form a club only slightly shorter 

 than the whole pedicel ; prothorax diagonally ampliated laterally 

 from the anterior to the median part, and nearly straight thence, the 

 anterior margin is glabrous except on the sides along the eyes, and 

 the base is strongly sinuate ; scutellum as broad as long, sharply 

 arcuate at the apex ; elytra plainly sinuate laterally in the anterior
