The head is not anteriorly produced. The eyes are 

 round and small. The superior pair of antennas are 

 about as long again as the head ; the peduncle is about 

 the same length as the flagellum ; and the secondary ap- 

 pendage is about half as long as the flagellum. The 

 inferior antennse have the peduncle not reaching beyond 

 the extremity of the peduncle of the superior, and 

 furnished with a few small spines and long hairs : the 

 flagellum is about three times as long as the peduncle ; 

 the articuli nearer to the peduncle are not longer than 

 they are broad, whilst those towards the extremity gra- 

 dually increase in length. The first two pairs of legs 

 are uniform, the anterior pair being a little the larger ;
