median carina of pronotum strongly interrupted cristate undulate, 
just behind the humeral angles compresso-elevated gibbocristate 
the summit slightly flattened ; just in front o‘f the crest slightly 
convexo-elevated, just behind the antero-dorsal margin subobli¬ 
terated, between the anterior sulci strongly depressed ; backward 
just behind the crest the median carina distinctly depressed, 
posteriorly undulate, with three separated compresso-elevated 
obtuse tubercles ; about four or five smaller tubercles gradually 
becoming obsolete backward toward the apex ; on either side of 
the median anterior gibbose-crest and situated little forward 
between the humeral angles the dorsum distinctly compresso- 
elevated gibbocristulate, in profile convexly sloping forward, 
behind obliquely excised, the summit viewed from above with 
a short supernumerary subdiverging carinula ; the lateral dorsal 
carinae distinct little elevated prolonged forward inside to or little 
beyond the humeral angles as secondary carinulae, behind the 
shoulders over the elytra distinctly sulcatebicarinate; antehumeral 
carinae distinct ; anterior prozonal carinae short, distinctly 
compresso-elevated crenulate ; dorsum in front of the shoulders 
subfossulate, behind the shoulders strongly flattened on each side 
with a slightly oblique elevated tubercle, posteriorly rugose, 
granulate, subtuberculate ; infra-scapular area of moderate height, 
above subbicarinate, little arcuate scarcely subnarrowed forward, 
attenuated behind ; lateral lobes of pronotum distinctly trisulcate, 
the anterior sulcus continuous above on the dorsum forming 
a strong constriction ; posterior or elytral sinus shallow, the 
inferior sinus largely angularly excised; posterior angle of 
lateral lobes strongly outwardly laminate, triangularly acute 
produced spiniform, posteriorly subobliquely truncate. Elytra 
oblong subobtuse apically; wings well developed not quite 
reaching to the apex of frontal process. Anterior femora slender 
entire ; middle femora slender margins subundulate, externally 
bicarinate; posterior femora rather slender, external pagina 
provided with strong oblique rugulae, above with round tubercles, 
margins serrulate, anterior half above subflattened provided with 
a small antegenicular acute tooth, apex of femora above armed 
with a large strong, acute, genicular spine ; posterior tibial margins 
serrulate, lightly compressed, armed with about five or six small 
spines, absent on the internal margin near the apex; first and 
third articles of posterior tarsi equal in length, pulvilli flat below. 
Ovipositor unusu ally long the blades slender strongly denticulate. 
Length of body ?, 14*3 mm.; pronot. 13*4 mm. ; breadth of 
shoulders 3*5 mm.; elytra 1*8 mm.; post, femora 7 mm. ; antennae
