" ^ • 2 "3-2. 5 mm. Larger than the type of the species and its race 

 delagoense. Differs from both by its more robust stature. The 

 dorsum of the epinotum is wide, only very little longer than wide ; the

 distinctly wider than long, plainly truncate in front, with a well- 

 defined upper anterior margin. Both nodes dull, reticulate-punctate, 

 sometimes striate. Head and thorax chiefly brownish ; thorax 

 reddish-brown. Tarsi, antennae, and mandibles reddish-yellow, the 

 club brown.
