Antennae long and slender; scapes surpassing occipital corners by adistance equal to twice their breadth at apex; first and second funicular jointssubequal, three times longer than broad; third joint shorter than second andproportionally broader, joints 4-10 longer than broad, subequal in length butincreasing in thickness toward apex; terminal joint barely as long as the twopreceding joints together. Eyes small, very fiat, situated in front of sides ofhead at a distance of three times their diameter from base of mandibles.
