Mouthparts not elongate or pointed. Mandible incisor transverse; incisor smooth; left lacinia mobilis present, reduced, laterally straight, not conical. Maxilla 1 palp 2-articulate, rectangular, apex reaching beyond outer plate; outer plate distally rounded; ST in two parallel rows, first marginal and second submarginal, ST first row with 6 setae (ST 1-5, ST7), ST 1 ordinary (similar to ST 2-4), gap between ST 5 and ST 7 present, ST A-C present, all part of second row; inner plate with a weakly developed shoulder, setae pappose.
