Head elongate, sides in front of eyes nearly parallel, posterior angles promi- nent, narrowly rounded, border Btrongly and narrowly concave. Mandibles less than half as long as head, very slightly arcuate, with nearly parallel inner and outer borders; with two subequal, long apical teeth, bent in at right angles to the blades, and a short, acute tooth on the dorsal surface of the blade, near the base of snbapical tooth. Clypeus flat, except at middle near front where it is shallowly impressed; anterior border concave at middle. Antennal scapes extending about three fourths the distance to occipital corners; first funicular joint longer than the second and third together, second and third subequal, terminal joint as long as the third and fourth together. Antennal Bcrobes broad, deep and well defined at anterior third, shallow basally. Eyes feebly convex, a little in front of middle of sides of head. Thorax slender. Pronolhid narrowed in front, with rounded humeri, nearly twice as broad as mesonotum which is con- cave in profile. Epinotum armed with short, tri- angular spines, less than half as long as distance apart at base, l'etiolar node longer than broad, rounded in front; in profile longer than high and very slightly convex above. Postpetiole twice as broad as petiole, rounded in front and at sides. Spongi- form appendages present on ventral surfaces and on posterior marge petiole and postpetiole.
