Frons flat, not at all prominent, parallel-sided, nearly snbquadrate, gradually passing to the occiput at vertex: it is hare, bearing only one pair of strong orbital bristles near the vertex; directed inwardly; the ocellar tubercle is broad, Hat. circular, bare, witli one pair of bristles, which are widely separated and directed outwardly. Eyes proportion- ately small, oval, narrowed below, their vertical diameter being twice longer than the horizontal one; they are densely clothed by rather long, white pubescence. Face as broad as the frons. with the bisection line placed a little above the lower corner of the eyes; the upper part is flat, bare, not at all prominent in profile; the lower part is distinctly convex, a little shorter than the upper one and ap- parently bare, of triangular shape, being narrowed below; in profile it is pro-.

Antennae inserted distinctly above the middle of the eyes; they are carried pendulous and are shorter than the face, but extending beyond the bisection line; they are close together at base and have two distinct tubercles above their root; the first joint is hairy above and is more than twice as long as the second, which is ring-like; third joint elongate. 2J time- longer than the two first joints together, gradually attenuated towards the end, without distinct arista or style. Palpi broad and fiat, nearly circular, placed at sides of the lower pari of the lace, just below the eyes. Proboscis short and thick, simple, h
