 prominent and distinct between the frontal carinae. The latter are 

 strongly curved and convex exteriorly. Head trapezoid, slightly

 joints slightly wider than long, the rest longer than wide. 



Thorax constricted a little posteriorly, anterior angles obtuse. 

 Pro-mesonotal suture distinct, with traces of sutures behind the 

 meso- and the metanotum. Basal area of epinotum convex, some- 

 what longer than the declivity, which is terminated above by two 

 flat, triangular teeth. Petiole longer than wide, slightly wider 

 behind than in front, convex above, vertical in front and behind, 

 the posterior margin convex in the middle and dentate laterally. 

 Ventral lamella projecting longitudinally. 



Abdomen feebly constricted, 2nd segment as long and as wide as 

 the 1st.
