appearing on a plane little below the middle of the eyes ; the 
rami of scutellum widely arcuately divergent, in profile between 
the antennae compresso-protuberant but flattened ; the median 
carina of face below distinct. Antennae slender, filiform, articles 
elongate inserted far below the eyes but separated apart a distance 
little wider than from the eyes. Pronotum rugose, in front 
acute spinose produced over the head, compresso-tectiform, armed 
with teeth, forming the anterior basal portion of the pronotal 
ramus; dorsum of pronotum anteriorly before the shoulders 
elevated into a nearly vertically produced quadricarinate ramus, 
about four millimeters in height, slightly expanded forward toward 
the upper extremity, the posterior border transversely widened by 
the presence of two strong supernumerary carinae, running the 
entire length, compressed, viewed from behind irregularly serrate; 
ramus near the base slightly constricted, anterior margin in profile 
below presents a concavity and armed with spines and little 
crateriform elevations, upper anterior part sub-convexo-angulate, 
presenting four small teeth which mark the terminations of short 
oblique distinct, but alternately placed veins or rugae, the short 
margin of summit above incurved ; posterior ramosal margin 
vertical, viewed from behind the large compresso-lateral 
irregularly serrate carinae conspicuous ; median ramosal carina 
behind becoming distinct below as it descends backwards to form 
the base, here it is slightly elevated, sloping backwards, irregu¬ 
larly minutely multispinose ; dorsum of pronotum anteriorly 
slightly compressed, laterally sloping but deeply sulcate, anterior 
prozonal carina absent; below base of ramus on either side of the 
ascending vertical carinae fossulate, behind the shoulders trans¬ 
versely fossulate; pronotum lightly narrowed posteriorly, ex¬ 
tended backwards little beyond the middle of hind femora, 
distinctly truncate behind, emarginate-carinate, minutely crenu- 
late-dentate, on either side at the apical angles armed with a small 
tooth, dorsal surface between the carinae punctate and traversed 
by transverse W-shaped rugae ; infra-scapular area broad high, and 
slightly arched above, laterally flattened, rugose granulate, 
narrowed posteriorly, prolonged around but below the apical mar¬ 
ginal carinae ; posterior angle of lateral lobes of pronotum widely 
obliquely produced downwards, distinctly angulate, obliquely 
truncate behind, serrate, the outer margins serrulate. Anterior 
femora compressed, upper margin provided with two small serrate 
lobes, the inferior margin armed with three distinct acute lobes, 
their margins serrate, the apical margin armed with a small tooth; 
middle femora not quite so compressed, armed above with two 
small serrate lobes, besides being distinctly spined at the apex,
