Front ofhead roundly produced. In a dorsal view both pairs of antennae areentirely concealed. The first pair have the basal article large and dilated; the second article is about half aslarge as the first ; the third is slender andelongate; the flagellum is composed ofabout 11 articles and extends to the posteriormargin of the first thoracic segment. Thesecond antenna?, with a flagellum of 11 ar-ticles, extend to the posterior margin of thethird thoracic segment. The first segment of the thorax has theantero-lateral angles produced so as to sur-round the posterior half of the head. Allthe segments are about equal in length.
