Thorax 460-532 (average 503) ;x long. Prothorax. Pronotal ridge strong, but medially interrupted by weak sclerotizatioii. Lateral pronolal sclerites small, without setae. Medial pronotal setae : usually 2 Post-tergites small and irregular, without striations and without setae. Pleural structures typical of family. Sternum with strong transverse and median ridges, well sclerotized triangular sclerite and rathei distinct sternal apophyses.
