Ocellus small. Ocular sclerite well sclerotized and polygonally reticulated throughout. Preocular ridge with ventral part reaching midcranial ridge. Postocular ridge weak dorsally, well developed lateroventrally and narrow but well defined posteromedially ; below ocellus the ridge splits up, with the posterior part weak or lost entirely and the anterior part strong, extending anterior to ocellus. Interocular ridge usually present, narrow, connecting pre- and postocular ridges between lateral eyes (ridge sometimes absent on one side and occasionally on both sides). Dorsal ocular setae absent ; ventral head setae : 3-5 (average 4) , situated on or just anterior to preocular ridge, a pair of these being considerably longer than the others. Preoral ridge absent. Tendon-like apodeme long, arising from the anterior part of an elongated ventral sclerite. Cranial apophysis very short, apex truncate with a large, irregular central lobe. Mouth opening irregular. Anterior tentorial pits situated anterolateral to mouth opening. Antennae 10-segmented, filiform ; 1003-1144 (average 1101) \i long, longer than half body- length (ratio 1 : 1-62-1-74, average i-68), longer than posterior leg (ratio 1 : 1-16-1-19, average 1-17) and longer than penial sheath (1 : 3-06-3-40, average 318). Scape 61-72 (average 66) \l long and 57-63 (average 60) [i wide, with 3-6 (average 4-1) Pedicel with distinct, poly- gonal, dorsal reticulation ; 57-68 (average 64) [i long and 53-63 (average 59) u. wide ; with 7-14 (average 10) , 8-15 (average 11) and a sensillum placodeum. Segment III bulging in middle, 1-7-2-1 (average 1-9) times longer than wide (76-95, average 84 jx long and 38-46, average 43 ji. wide) ; with 6-8 (average 7) and 21-31 (average 24) , the latter, as on the ot
