. This species is the most distinct in the genus and is easily 
distingushed by the fasciculate processes on the rostrum and 
etasternum of the m e only other species in the allied 
genera that has fascicles on the metasternum 1s elanterius

fascicles are bent over at their apices, which are nearly touch- 
ing, and so forming an arch. The strongly dilated femora 
and distorted tibiae of the middle legs are also characteristic.
