Zoology; Zoology. hi in\ : mi -I i M 01 < OMPARATH I ZOOLOGY . posterior border broadly concave Mandibles slender, their bladei with u 14 unequal, triangular teeth Clypeui slightly convex, its anterior border \n\ feebly ooneave Antennae 7-jointed; basal dilation of scape narrowly rounded at outer border, about a thud as broad as long; first funicular joint as long as the second and much thicker; all joints longer than broad, gradually increasing in sise to the terminal, which is a little shorter than the three pre- ceding joints together. Scrobes broad and deep. Eyes small, situated at middle of the margin that borders the BCrobes. Pronotum longitudinally impressed at middle. Promesonotal suture impressed but with continuous sculpture. Meeoepinotal impression distinct. Base of epinotum nearly flat in profile; spinesstoul and blunt at tip, longer than their distance apart at base, broadly lamellate basally, the lamellae continuim margins to the declivity. I'etiolar node from above longer than broad, in profile as long BS high and longer than the peduncle; antero- ventral tooth large, lamellate, and rounded at tij). Postpetiole twice as broad as petiole and much broader than long, strongly longi- tudinally impressed at middle and gibbous posteriorly on either side of impression. Opaque. Mandibles rugose basally. Head, thorax, petiole, and postpetiole with very coarse irregular costae, which are oblique on the front, transverse on the occiput and longi- tudinal on the thoracic dorsum. Base of first gastric segment with irregular costae, the rest strongly cribrate-punctate. Body, antennae, and legs with abundant, coarse, semierect, flattened, clavate hairs; body and antennae in addition to these with sparse, longer, erect, clavate hairs. Dark ferruginous throughout.
