the hairs more laterally placed, so tha,t an indentation is produced towards the apex. Antennae at the ends 
thickened, in the with one row of dents. Frons with a long hair-tuft. Forelegs short. Middle and hind tibiae 
short-haired. On the posterior tarsi the first joint slightly haired in one row. In the fore wing veins 2, 3 and
