Scape 38-51 (average 45) y long and 46-49 (average 48) y wide, with 3 Pedicel with distinct, polygonal dorsal reticulation ; 46-57 (average 54) y long and 42-48 (average 45) u. wide ; with 3-7 (average 5-3) , 1-2 (average 1-4) and a sensillum placodeum. Segment III club-shaped, 2-4-3-7 times longer than wide (72-95, average 82 y long and 23-34, average 29 y. wide) ; with 2-4 (average 2-8) of medium length, 0-9-1-4 (average 1) times as long as width of segment ; with 2-4 usual sensilla basiconica. Segments IV-IX cylindrical ; lengths of these segments (in y) 148-179 (average 162), 152-175 (average 165), 122-171 (average 142), 114-137 (average 125), 80-87 (average 86) and 65-74 (average 68) respectively, all of about the same width, varying from 19 to 27 y ; with 17-22 (average 20), 19-24 (average 22), 20-33 (average 24), 22-28 (average 25), 15-19 (average 17) and 13-17 (average 15) respectively, but no ; antenna/ bristles on segments VIII-IX not markedly different from Segment X : terminal part not constricted ; 61-72 (average 67) y long and 17-23 (average 21) y wide ; carrying 5-11 (average 8) , 3 capitate subapical setae and 5 antennal bristles of which the 3 long ones are about half as long as the segment and the 2 shorter ones rather similar to the ; with 2 sensilla basonica ventrally, one near apex and the other more proximal. Thorax 505-559 (average 520) y long. Prothorax. Pronotal ridge strong, but medially interrupted by weak sclerotization. Lateral pronotal sclerites small, without setae. Medial pronotal setae absent.
