 wardly curved conical horns, connected by a slight transverse elevation, and 

 with the hinder margin divided by notches into four or five tubercles. 

 Antennae long and setaceous. Mesosternum longitudinally carinate. The 

 upper surface of thorax and abdomen traversed by a fine raised longitudinal 

 line, sharper and finer in the female. The mesothorax moderately dilated 

 at the insertion of the legs. Legs weak ; all the femora have two minute 

 spinules placed close together in the same straight line near the apex below, 

 and the four posterior ones slightly widen from the proximal to the distal
