Labrum as in Limonia tipulipes, but each lateral corner bears a prominent curved papilla. Pupa.—Length 9 mm., diameter -9-1 mm. Body devoid of prominent setae. Thorax dark brown, abdominal segments dirty white, deriving a brown tinge dorsally in mature pupae from the deposition of chitin; breathing horns dark brown.
