•f Head slightly elongated in front of the eyes ; ante- 
ocular and post-ocular parts nearly equally long. 
Eyes and ocelli nearly equally far apart. 
Antennae rather short, inserted by the eyes; 
first joint notextending beyond the tip of the 
head. Antenniferous tubercle with a little spine 
on the outer side. First joint of the rostrum a 
little longer than the third and fourth together. 
J Ocelli almost obsolete, hardly discernible. Head 
longer than the prothorax, tumid behind the 
eyes. Antennae short; first joint shorter by 
half than the head in front of ihe insertion of 
the antennae. First joint of the rostrum a little 
longer than the second. Scutellum with an 
obtusely dentiform process on each side near 
the base. Femora somewhat thickened, with 
two or three little spines beneath near the tips. 
Ocelli distinct. Scutellum unarmed on each side 
at the base. Femora not or but slightly 
thickened. Antennae moderate. 
§ Antennae remote from the eyes. 
X Antennae seated near the tip of the head and about 
thrice nearer to it than to the eyes. Head 
longer than the prothorax. First and third 
joints of the rostrum short, almost equally 
long; second very long, nearly four times 
longer than the first. - 
X X Antennte variously inserted, remote from the tip of 
the head, sometimes seated a little more remote 
from the eyes than from the tip of the head, 
o Fore lobe of the prothorax with two spines in the 
disk ; side angles of the hind lohe ending in an 
acute spine. Scutellum lengthened at the tip 
into a long acute slightly reflexed spine. 
Antennae seated a little more remote from the 
eyes than from the tip of the head; first joint 
reaching or almost reaching the tip of the head. 
First joint of the rostrum a little shorter than 
the second. - 
oo Fore lobe of the prothorax sometimes tuberculate, 
never acutely spiny; lateral angles of the hind 
lobe rounded. Scutellum lengthened at the 
tip into an acute spine. 
Body with short hairs. Prothorax distinctly 
straightened ; lateral angles of the hind lobe a 
little prominent ; fore lobe qnadrituberculate ; 
middle tubercles high, conical. 
Body smooth. Prothorax sinuated on each side, 
not or but slightly straightened ; fore lobe some- 
times with minute tubercles; lateral angles of 
the hind lobe not prominent.
