Male : Brick-red with the prothorax and tibiae somewhat infus-

 long, flavescent hairs underneath ; labrum notched in the centre, at 

 the base of the labrum is a vertical wall-like ridge extending from 

 side to side, and the upper angle of which is produced into a vertical

 of the ridge is almost parallel, only slightly wider than the ridge, and 

 depressed from there nearly to the apex where there is a small,
