 moderately large ; ocelli separated from eye by a distance greater 

 than their diameter ; fontanelle dotted, reddish, somewhat elevated ; 

 transversal band depressed ; basal portion of clypeus slightly shorter 

 than half its width but not very short, markedly swollen ; antennae 

 19-jointcd, 2nd joint much longer than 3rd, 4th joint as long as 3rd ; 

 pronotum nearly as broad as head, slightly shorter than half the 

 width, nearly saddle-shaped, antero-lateral corners markedly depressed, 

 middle of anterior and posterior border indented ; basal portion of 

 median nerve coalescent with cubitus, the former with about 4 

 branches in the apical portion, the latter with 10 branches, most of
