Head strongly punctured, more widely separated 

 behind the ocelli, the clypeus stoutly keeled down the 

 middle, and a curved keel on either side of this united to 

 the central at the base; the mandibles with large punc- 

 tures; the four basal teeth brownish. Antennae entirely 

 black ; the scape sparsely ; the flagellum more closely 

 covered with pale fuscous hair, nearly as long as the 

 thickness of the joints. Pro- and meso-notum thickly 

 covered with long fuscous hairs ; the base of the pro- 

 notum closely transversely striolated ; the rest of it 

 coarsely irregularly rugosely punctured, except at the 

 apex, the smooth apical part being separated by a dis- 

 tinct keel from the rest ; the mesonotum with scattered 

 punctures ; the parapsidal furrows reaching not quite to 

 the apex; the scutellum almost impunctate. The median 

 segment transversely, more widely at the base, where 

 there is in the centre a somewhat triangular area ; the 

 apex is more strongly and closely transversely striolated. 

 Propleurae shining, smooth; the mesopleurae covered with 

 larger distinctly separated punctures, except a smooth, 

 elongated, slightly raised space under the wings ; the 

 metapleurae punctured at the top and round the apex ; 

 the top at the base with two longitudinal keels, between 

 which are two perpendicular ones. Legs black, the joints 

 testaceous; the femora and tibiae sparsely, the tarsi more 

 thickly covered with shorter white hair. Wings hyaline, 

 with a very faint fulvous tinge; the stigma black; the
