hairs on the prothorax and elytra; under-surface and legs 
with blackish hairs, denser on metasternum than elsewhere. 
Head with dense (but not crowded) and sharply-defined 
punctures of moderate size between eyes. Clypeus with suture 
numerous punctures, these of varying sizes but mostly fairly 
large; interstices with a few distinct punctures. Pygidium 
in parts with sharply-defined punctures. Front tibiae 
tridentate, the two front teeth large, the other very small.

(unique), I. 4780. 
As the club is rather small the type is probably a female; 
the median line of its pronotum is vaguely impressed on the 
apical third, and represented by an impunctate line from there 
to the base. The hind angles of the prothorax are sharply 
defined, although they are rather more than right angles, but 
his is the case with other species that Blackburn referred to 
B of his table, “Hind angles of prothorax sharply defined," 
some directions, however, they appear to be quite sharply 
acute; by that table. the species would be associated with 
Pony first glance, the third tooth being very feeble and nearer the
