erect, subcylindrical, narrowing toward the apex, apex forked, 
the prongs of the fork twisted and broadly foliaceous; poste- 
rior process long, slender, slightly elevated behind the middle, 
marked with a pale median line for basal two-thirds; tegmina 
entirely very dark brown or black. (Cf. Stal: “processu postico 
thoracis ante medium macula pallescente notato, pone medium 
quam anterius altiore, tegminibusque totis piceis .”) 5 
Head longer than broad, foliaceous, roughly sculptured, dark 
brown, coarsely punctate, finely pubescent ; base sinuate, highest 
on either side of median suture; sutures distinct, elevated; eyes 
prominent, brown; ocelli very prominent, opalescent, shining, 
much farther from each other than from the eyes and situated 
well above a line drawn through centers of eyes; inferior mar- 
gins of gense sinuate, foliaceous, sloping downward abruptly to 
clypeus ; clypeus foliaceous, distinctly trilobed, two smooth longi- 
tudinal stria down middle, finely punctate, sparingly pubescent, 
tip pilose. 
Pronotum uniform dark brown or black except narrow yellow- 
ish line on basal two-thirds of posterior process, roughly punc- 
tate, sparingly pubescent with grayish hairs on upper parts, 
very densely pubescent and tomentose just before humeral an- 
gles; humeral angles not prominent, obtuse; anterior prono- 
tal horn erect, long, slender, turriculate, heavy at base, gradually 
becoming narrower toward apex, bearing a distinct median 
carina in front, two or three irregular lateral ridges and a 
sharp posterior ridge which is strongly toothed, the teeth be- 
coming smaller and closer together as they approach the poste- 
rior process, apex of horn forked, forks bent backward, with 
a slight extension of the median column between the two prongs 
of the forks; prongs of the fork as seen from the front widely 
separated at their bases, then approaching each other and nearly 
touching at their tips, much compressed laterally below, some- 
what twisted and triquerate at apex, apical ends obliquely and 
sinuately truncate ; posterior process long, slender, sinuate, high- 
est behind middle, basal two-thirds marked with narrow yellow- 
ish vitta, sharply carinate and denticulate above, tip depressed 
and extending somewhat beyond lateral angles of tegmina. 
Tegmina opaque, dark brown or black, strongly punctate and 
coriaceous in basal and costal regions, a very small pale spot 
at internal angles, tips long and acute, five apical and three 
discoidal areas.
