margins appreciably distinct; the crown of head viewed in 
profile barely elevated above the eyes. Facial frontal costa in 
profile roundly protuberant, advanced beyond the eyes equal to 
about one-third their diameter ; the contour of face distinctly 
retreating; the frontal costa viewed from in front moderately 
sulcate, the rami subparallel. Eyes not exserted, of moderate size, 
subglobose; posterior ocelli distinct situated barely in advance of 
the middle of the eyes. Antennae slender filiform, articles 
elongate, inserted between the lower third of the eyes. Pronotum 
truncate in front, posteriorly long attenuate extended beyond the 
knee of hind femora ; dorsum rugose granulate, elongate tuber- 
culose, between the shoulders transversely convex, provided with 
an abbreviated ruga on each side; anterior prozonal carinae 
distinct, little convergent backwards; humeral angles wide, 
distinct; lateral carinae little elevated; median carina subper- 
current but slightly subexcavate in front of the shoulders, 
posteriorly indistinctly sinuate ; posterior angles of lateral lobes 
outwardly acute produced subspiniform, behind the angle sub- 
transverse ; infra scapular area above the distal half of elytra 
narrow sulcate subarcuate, about as wide as the scapular area. 
Elytra oblong ovate ; wings well developed extended about one 
millimeter beyond the apex of pronotal process. First and second 
femoral margins entire, posterior femoral margins crenulate, 
antegenicular tooth subacute, distinct; lateral margins of posterior 
tibiae crenulate, armed with spines, as many as ten in the outer 
margin ; first article of posterior tarsi slightly longer than the 
third, the third pulvillus longest flat below. Superior blade of 
ovipositor rather stout, strongly denticulate.

Plate III., figs. 17-17&. 
Body small, rugose tuberculose granulate. Vertex and facial 
frontal costa similar in structure to aculus as shown in figures 17 - 
176 compared with figures 16-166. In the male the crown of the 
head viewed in profile is scarcely so elevated above the eyes. This 
species differs from acutus in being smaller in stature, but about 
the same width between the shoulders ; the pronotal process and 
wings abbreviated not extended backward so far as the apex of
