 the tip gradually in size and thickness, taking at the same 

 time a subquaclratic and depressed shape. The mandibles are 

 strong, much dilated and dentated from before the middle to 

 the base, the right one having an additional subapical tooth. 

 The maxilla? also are strong, but slightly bent at the apex, 

 where they are also slightly excavated. The labial palpi have 

 the last joint longer than the third elongated and elliptic. The 

 thorax is oblong, with the basal angles obliquely truncated. 

 The elytra are oval, striated, granulated at the base, and 

 have, as has also the thorax, a narrow margin. The anterior 

 tarsi are furnished externally with 5 teeth, the two last ones of 

 which, however, are very small, the posterior legs are simi-

 tarsi are slightly excavated below. The sides of the body
