In its general facies this family is widely distinct from those 

 that precede it. The head is usually large, sometimes produced 

 anteriorly into more or less of a rostrum; the vertex, front and 

 often the clypeus is furnished with three carinae; the pronotum 

 is commonly narrow and often strongly angled, forming a mere 

 collar to the front of the mesonotum, and is usually tricarinate, the 

 lateral carinae frequently curving around behind the eyes. The
