 Hah. Borneo. 



Antennae stout, as long as the thorax ; the 3rd joint distinctly 

 longer than the 4th and narrowed at the base. Head closely, 

 but not deeply, punctured, except in the centre of the front ; 

 the centre of the face shining and less strongly and closely punc- 

 tured ; the top of the clypeus shining and bearing 6 large foveae. 

 Mandibles rufous behind the teeth. Pro- and mesothorax rather 

 strongly and closely punctured ; the pronotum at the base on 

 the sides with a distinct keel. Parapsidal furrows wide, curved. 

 Scutellem more widely punctured than the mesonotum, its apex 

 ending in 2 large, bluntly, rounded, longer than broad, finely 

 rugose teeth. Metanotum irregularly reticulated ; the central 

 basal area is larger and longer, is obliquely narrowed at the 

 base and becomes narrowed slightly towards the apex. 

 Propleurae rugose ; the meso- smooth and shining and with some 

 widly separated striae at the base. Metapleurae closely reticu- 

 lated, abdomen shorter than the thorax, blunty pointed and 

 covered with white pubescence at the apex.
