In the genus Arotes the epistoma and pleurostoma are moderatelysclerotized and broad; the hypostoma is moderately sclerotized butvery slender; the hypostomal spur is broad and very lightly sclerotized;the stipital sclerite is short, broad and very lightly sclerotized; thelabial sclerite is roughly triangular in shape, but the ventral part ismuch broader than the lateral parts as in the Pimplini; the maxillarypalps each bear one large, round sensillum and a group of smallersensilla; each labial palp bears one large round sensillum and onesmall sensillum; the labral sclerite is absent an
