Principally distinguished by the strong development of the 
head in the male, the structure of the clypeus, the short thorax 
and elongate legs. The female differs in the much smaller, more 
elongate head, the short mandibles and the anteriorly narrowed 
thorax.

times as broad as long, sides obtusely rounded, slightly convergent 
in front, posterior angles rounded, anterior very obtuse, basal 
margin sinuate on either side of the median lobe, the latter 
obtusely rounded ; upper surface transversely convex, remotely and 
very minutely punctured, a concave transverse space on and 
immediately in front of the basal lobe coarsely and closely

small, surface of head with a few fine punctures ; clypeus separated
