On either side of the median notch the front is produced anteriorly and has the lateral portion bend down- ward, forming an angle with the dorsal portion. The eyes are large and round, composite in structure, and placed about the middle of the head at the extreme lateral margins. The first pair of antennffi have the basal articles long, not expanded, and about equal in length to the second article; the third is a little longer than the second; the fourth is about as long as the second. The first antenna extend a little beyond the third article of the peduncle of the second pair of antenna*. The basal article of the second antennae is short, and almost inconspicuous from a dorsal view; the second article is also short; the third is twice as long- as the second; the fourth is
