" $ . 1*7 mm. Smaller than the type species. Eyes a little 

 smaller. Clypeus with the longitudinal groove hardly or not at 

 all terminated by an emargination in front. As in the type, all 

 the joints of the nagellum are at least a little longer than wide,. but 

 the rather shorter scape projects backwards beyond the occipital 

 margin by not more than its own thickness. Thorax noticeably 

 shorter. Pronotum with more distinct anterior angles, one and 

 a quarter to one and a third times wider than long. Mesonotum 

 wider than long. The very short dorsum of the epinotum also wider 

 than long (in the type species distinctly longer, and not wider than 

 long). Declivity of epinotum only bluntly margined. At the sides 

 below, the stigmata project out step-like (only slightly so in the type 

 species). Legs a little shorter. The whole body shining and only 

 very faintly reticulate, the thorax a little less shining. Pubescence 

 scantier (it is fairly scanty in the type species). Pilosity equally 

 distributed. Yellowish brown, thorax and 1st abdominal segment 

 lighter, brownish yellow. Antennae, clypeus, mandibles and legs 

 yellowish white.

y . 2*2-2*5 mm. Dark brown, base and apex of the scape, the 

 nagellum and the mandibles brownish yellow, legs pale yellow or 

 with the tibiae and femora more or less brown. Head and thorax 

 very finely reticulate-punctate, the puncturation is a little larger on 

 the meso- and epinotum, abdomen microscopically rugulose. Whole 

 body covered with a very fine and short whitish pubescence ; there 

 are a few pilose hairs, less evenly distributed than in arnoldinus. 

 The body sub-nitidulous, mandibles shining. Head a little longer 

 than wide, wider behind than in front, sides convex, posterior margin 

 shallowly arcuate. Clypeus with the anterior margin feebly 

 emarginate in the middle. Mandibles with a few coarse punctures, 

 the masticatory margin armed with numerous small teeth, the apical 

 and sub-apical teeth the largest. The scape reaches back beyond the 

 occipital margin by about the length of the 1st and 2nd joints of the 

 nagellum ; 1st joint twice as long as the 2nd, the latter as wide as
