Legs and antennae with a sparse, long and yellowish pubescence ; head and thorax with a scanty, outstanding and pale pilosity. Head subrectangular, about one-fifth longer than wide, (excluding the mandibles), the sides in front of the eyes parallel, behind them somewhat convex, the posterior angles rounded, the posterior margin moderately concave. The eyes are very prominent and convex, placed in the middle of the sides. Second and 3rd joints of the flagellum a little wider than long, the 4th and 5th as wide as long, the rest longer than wide. The frontal carinae, which extend back to the po- sterior margin of the head, are moderately divergent back- wards, and form the upper boundary of the distinct demi- scrobes ; the scapes do not quite reach the posterior mar- gin. Anterior margin of clypeus feebly impressed in the middle. Anterior margin of the pro- notum arcuate, the shoulders subangular. Thoracic sutures obsolete above, the dorsum of the epinotum separated from the mesonotum by a raised and sharp line. The dorsum of the epinotum is about as long as wide, slightly hollowed out ; the epinotal spines long and acute, strongly divergent, almost twice as long as they are wide at the base, quite twice as long as the space between their bases ; episternal teeth triangular, acute, one-third as long as the epinotal ; the declivity smooth and shining. Node of the 1st joint of the petiole squamiform, higher than its peduncle is long, and higher than the 2nd node. Its anterior face is convex from side to side, the posterior face flat, its dorsal edge convex transversely and moderately rounded from front to back. The 2nd node two and a third times wider than long, one- third wider than the 1st, its upper half compressed from fron
