disc convex, a little deplanate toward sides ; anterior angles depressed, 
sides rounded but shallowly sinuate before middle and before hind 
angles, which are obtuse, moderately rounded and reflexed ; base 
unmargined ; marginal setae placed in margin, anterior pair at mid- 
dle, posterior pair before hind angles. Prosternum slightly flattened 
along mid-line; posterior process truncate, but not very sharply so. 
Elytra 1.8 times longer than wide, humeri completely rounded, 
sides slightly sinuate in basal fourth, subapical sinuation obsolete; 
disc convex, striae deep and uninterrupted, intervals convex; scutellar 
stria very short, obsolescent; first stria either truncating or joining 
second stria at base, fourth and fifth striae joining in apical fourth 
and not attaining apex; scutellar puncture setose; two discal punc- 
tures on third interval touching second stria, anterior puncture be- 
hind middle, posterior puncture in apical fifth; umbilicate series 
6 + 2 + 6, spacing between punctures 6 through 9 wide and a little 
irregular; whips apparently (some broken?) in punctures 1, 9, and 
13, but not excessively long; seventh stria with a single preapical 
puncture. 
Metathoracic wings vestigial, about 0.7 mm. long (holotype). 
Abdominal tergites pale, unpigmented, translucent (as in troglobitic 
Trechinae). Metepisterna short, anterior margin 0.75 as long as 
lateral margin. 
Appendages all slender and elongate. Antenna 0.85 times total 
body length, first three segments glabrous, pubescence beginning at 
basal sixth of fourth segment; fourth segment one-third longer than 
third segment; beginning with scape, segments in length ratio as 
follows: 1 .00 : 0.44 : 1.10 : 1.52 : 1.27 : 1.22 : 1.14 : 1.10 : 
1. OO : 0.87 : 0.79 (holotype). Tarsus with fourth segment bilobate, 
inner lobe longer than outer, lobes prominent on pro- and mesotarsus 
but inconspicuous on metatarsus; first four segments with long setae 
beneath, fifth segment glabrous beneath; meso- and metatarsi with 
feeble ridge on outer side of basal two or three segments ; total length 
of protarsus 1.20 mm. in holotype, segments in length ratio of 1.00 : 
O.55 10.48 : 0.29 (excluding lobes) : 1.55. 
Male unknown.
