Clypeus strongly convex at middle, rounded at anterior border. Antennae slender, their scapes attaining occipital border; first funicular joint as long as the second and third joints together, joint 2 a little longer than broad, 3-10 scarcely broader than long, terminal joint distinctly longer than the two preceding together. Eyes small, of 4-5 ommatidia, situated at anterior fourth of sides of head. Thorax elongate, nearly flat above, pro- mesonotal and mesoepinotal sutures distinct, but not profound. Mesonotum nearly circular, a little broader than long and half as long as pronotum. Base of epinotum twice as long as broad and as long as the declivity, which is flat and margined at sides. Petiole distinctly broader than epinotum, the dorsal surface from above twice as broad as long; in profile more than twice as high. Please note that th
