Head strongly, longitudinally and regularly striate, the cheeks in front with a few transverse strands between the longitudinal ones, the spaces between the striae at least three times as wide as the striae themselves. Clypeus striated like T t^r X 16 ^^^ ^^^^ ^^ ^^® head, its anterior margin straight, feebly excised in the middle. Man- dibles 5-dentate, smooth, shining and sparsely punctured. Thorax longitudinally rugoso-striate with a few transverse strands here and there, the striae on the dorsum quite as widely spaced as those on the head, those on the sides closer together ; the striae become effaced towards the posterior margin of the thorax, and the declivity is smooth in the middle, finely rugose at the sides. Both nodes smooth and shining, the posterior face of the 1st node coriaceous at the margins. Pilosity yellowish, oblique, long and thin, fairly sparse all over, shorter and almost decumbent on the legs and antennae; flagellum and tarsi with a thin pubescence. Head almost square, the corners rounded, barely narrower in front than behind. The frontal carinae extend back as far as the posterior fourth of the head and form the upper boundary of a demiscrobe, which is slightly shining and almost smooth. Scapes as long as the demiscrobes ; 2nd-6th joints of the flagellum wider than long. Eyes placed at the middle of the sides. Promesonotum submarginate in front, not longer than wide in front, trapezoidal. Promesonotal suture defined only at the sides. Mesoepinotal suture wide but shallow. Dorsum of epinotum submarginate, widest a little beyond its base, very little longer than wide. Epinotal spines nearly vertical, acute, barely divergent, a little longer
