 curved keels.

 hairs ; a mark rounded at the base and broader than 

 long at the apex of the clypeus; an elongate somewhat 

 triangular spot, extending from the base of the clypeus 

 to near the front ocellus, the apex of its dilated part being

 a yellow mark, which is truncated at the bottom, rounded 

 at the top. Flagellum brownish beneath, covered with 

 a microscopic down. Thorax black, strongly punctured ; 

 covered with short white pubescence; the median segment 

 broadly and coarsely rugose in the middle, the rugose

 irregular keels ; the sides and apex of the median segment 

 alutaceous, covered with a pale microscopic down. Meso- 

 pleurse rather strongly punctured, the punctures all 

 distinctly separated ; the metapleurae coarsely alutaceous.
