Head with the interocular space in <$$ as in pallidulus, but in ?? comparatively narrower, not much more than 3 times as broad as tubercle; antennae with joint 1 distinctly longer and more than 4 times as long as 2, more slender and not thickened, with joint 3 shorter than 1 and 2 combined; proboscis about 2-2J mm. long and also red with a black tip.
