Length 26-28 mm., shape robust. ^ and $ with 39-41 pairs of legs. Head-plate (fig. 485) much longer than wide, punctate. No frontal sulcus. The first six antennal joints with two whorls of long bristles, the small hairs begin- ning on the first joint, anten- nae filiform, tapering. The whole clypeus with a poly- gonal reticulation. In the clypeal area of certain genera the meshes are a little smaller, but not paler in colour. Two long bristles near the frontal margin and two behind. The median piece of the labrum (fig. 480) separates the lateral pieces, and is tridentate, the teeth short, triangular. Lateral pieces fringed, the fringes relatively distant one from the other and with broad bases. Syncoxite of the first maxillae (fig. 483) without lateral lobes, telopodite with short, finely-spined lateral lobe ; coxal process and terminal joint with several long bristles. Coxae of the second maxillae completely fused, the interior angle not prominent (text-fig. 52). Coxae and femur of maxillipedes (fig. 484), with dis- persed shallow punctation, no chitinous lines ; anterior margin with two small brown teeth. Claw with one small basal tooth ; the re- maining joints not toothed. The maxillipedes extend beyond the frontal margin. A little broad basal plate half concealed by the head-plate. The maxillipedes are partially visible from above. The pleurocoxal suture runs obliquely to the lateral margin, reaching it approximately in the middle of the coxa. Only from the ventral side is a small part of the pleurae visible. Tergites not sulcate. Intercalar tergites with one row of short hairs. Intercalar sternites divided, with one row of s
