Third antennal segment resembles the fourth; both are larger and of a different shape than the 
second segment. Antennal grooves deep, almost attaining the anterior coxae; the distance 
between the end of the groove and the coxal cavity equal to the width of the groove. Body 
clothed with scales; scales on the underside of the body narrower than those of the upper surface. 
Prothorax not constricted behind the anterior angles. Lateral carina of the prothorax attains
