mesocoxae. In lateral view mesothoracic process distinctly projects above level of coxae. Metepisterna rather broad, 2.7 to 3.0 times longer than wide, posteriad roundly narrowing, each completely set off from metasterna by a suture (fig. 18). Metathorax with a more or less lanceolate axial depression delimited by carinimorph lateral sides and reaching anteriorly approximately to first third of length of metathorax (fig. 18). Metathorax very finely, sparsely, superficially punctured and distinctly isodiametrically shagreen (fig. 18). Anterior part of metacoxae gradually narrowing outward, its anterior side rounded outward (fig. 18). Metatibia short, thickened, ca. twice shorter than femora. Metatibial spurs well developed, subequal in length, almost reaching apex of tarsal joint 1 (fig. 21). The latter very long, 1.3 to 1.4 times longer than tibia and 1.25 to 1.35 times as long as all following joints combined: joints 2 and 4 elongate, each a little longer than 3rd. Last visible abdominal sternite posteriorly emarginate. Aedeagus as depicted (fig. 35). Length 2.3 to 2.7 mm. REFERENCES BARRETT, R.E.
