Head, thorax, andepinotum with regular, slightly rugose striae,which are longitudinal except on sides of prono-tum where they are oblique. Petiolar node finelystriate. Gaster densely and rather coarsely andrugosely striate longitudinally. Legs and antennae finely punctate.

Clypeus evenly and moderatelyconvex, the anterior border bidentate and shallowly concave at carinae only siighty divergent, extending to opposite middle of surpassing occipital border by more than two thirds of their length. 378 billetin: museum of comparative zoology. Pronotum broader than long, broadest behind middle, margined at sides; humeral spines flat, acute at tips, divergent, and pointing slightly upward. Mesoepinotum broadest in front,
