Characters. — 9- Head (including eyes) a little narrower than base of mesonotum, about as 

 long as breadth between eyes, front globose and prominent, shorter than vertex; pronotum about as 

 long as mesonotum, its lateral margins a little convex, angularly incised before posterior angles which 

 are ampliated; abdomen somewhat cylindrical, longer than space between apex of head and base of 

 cruciform elevation; tympanal coverings small and lateral; anterior femora robustly spined beneath;
