posteriorly truncate, the apex not or scarcely reaching the apex 
of femora : dorsum before the middle acutely tectiform often 
produced in a ramose process. Elytra and wings absent. Femora 
scabrous, carinse acute lobate ; anterior tibiae lineate, base 
slightly ampliate ; genicular tooth of posterior femora strong, 
acute ; posterior tibiae spinose and indistinctly serrulate ; first 
and third articles of posterior tarsi subequal in length.

Pronotal ramus curved forward, frontal margin forming a 
distinct semi-circle, posterior margin strongly oblique. (See

Body black, small and stout. Head very short, vertical, large, 
very irregular, granulate, and rugose. Eyes globose and far 
apart. Vertex large, very short, retracted under the border of the 
pronotum, anterior border transversely carinated, granulate, and 
not advanced so far as the eyes, on either side terminating by a 
small tooth directed upwards. Face vertical, rough, divided by a 
bidentate carina above, the two rami between the antennae slightly 
elevated, divergent, the space between concave, oval, excavate, 
the facial carina below the median ocellus distinct. Pronotum 
strongly rugose, dorsum strongly elevated forwards forming a 
very acute toothed carina, the summit a little in advance of the 
middle ; the crest elevated in a long ramose appendix having the 
form of an apophysis, compressed, and laminate, ascending almost 
as long as half the body, curved forwards] and terminating by a 
three-spined and three-toothed truncature which is directed 
towards the front, the apical produced margin presenting a large 
spiniform bifurcation directed upwards ; the anterior border of 
the appendix a little toothed, forming with the anterior pro¬ 
longation of the pronotum a half circle, the posterior border 
having two angles, two or three spined ; anterior extremity of the 
pronotum prolonged above the head in an acute angle, its crest 
armed with four or five spines and terminating above the vertex 
by a spine directed forwards; sides of pronotum rugose granulate 
and tuberculate, the lateral lobes prolonged in the form of an 
acute triangular tooth, the posterior border sometimes dentate:
